exposing Oliver North's CON Game
LT. COL OLIVER NORTH, NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL OFFICIAL under Reagan

"Ronald Reagan was easily the greatest president of my lifetime -- and he will be regarded as one of the greatest leaders this
country has ever had. He brought down the Evil Empire and made the world safer for my children and theirs."


exactly what was Ollie bringing in:

poppy from Iran/Afghanistan (farmer Osama minding the fields)? or was it coke re-routed from Nicaragua? (see the Palast comment)

1. What's there to expose?
I think just about everyone knows that he's a criminal. Unfortunately, not enough people hold it against him.

2. After North traded arms for hostages.
Didn't the kidnappers just take new hostages to replace them?

4. here's what Randi Rhodes did to him:

http://www.airamericatalk.com/portal/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=282

Times: You like to be prepared for your interviews. The one I'm thinking of is the Oliver North interview. Can you tell me what happened when he thought he was coming in for a friendly chat?

Rhodes: I never thought he was coming in for a friendly chat. I was armed to the teeth. I had his indictment, I had his convictions, I had Firewall, the book written by the independent counsel Lawrence Walsh.

I was ready to confront him because I knew he would never admit there was a day in his life that he had been convicted for crimes against the United States and for lying to Congress. He was a convicted felon. (The convictions were later vacated.) This guy says what a great American he is, but yet he betrayed his country eight ways from Sunday. He laundered money for the Saudis, he did horrible, horrible things. He sold missiles to Iran, then took money and laundered it through a drug ring, and the money ended up supporting the Nicaraguan Contras in a secret war that was strictly prohibited by Congress by the Boland Amendment.

I wanted him to admit that one fact, and he wouldn't do it. He started screaming, "I've been shot. Who are you? I've been shot." He didn't know I've served in the military, too. I said, "What makes you think you're the only person who has ever put on a uniform? What's your problem? I put on the uniform, too, but I was never convicted of lying to Congress." He was furious because I had him dead to rights, and he walked off the show.

Times: How long did it take before he walked out?

Rhodes: Twelve minutes. I was hoping for 10, I got 12.
