Quote of the Year
"For
the most part, the Nicaraguan Contras burned villages and murdered
civilians. On behalf of their cause, Reagan sold out his oath of office
and subverted the Constitution....
"Oliver North presented himself
as the immortal boy in the heroic green uniform of Peter Pan. Although
wishing to be seen as a humble patriot, the colonel’s testimony showed
him to be a treacherous and lying agent of the national security state,
willing to do anything asked of him by a President to whom he granted
the powers of an Oriental despot."
