        You are reading into the post something that is NOT there in
        an attempt to slant things. Re-read the original. All I gave
        was Reagans reasons (or rationalizations if you prefer) as I
        see them, I DID NOT defend them. I think Iran-Contra clearly
        did things that were illegal. But, you also have to
        realize that things like Iran-Contra have been done by other
        administrations, they just didn't get caught and have to
        try to defend illegal acts. Foreign policy has always used
        by the intelligence community to gain certain "advantages".
        It may not be right, but it is business as usual ever since WWII.
