anyone who followed the bcci-iran contra scandal, knew that if these felons were not brought to justice, they'd be back and the corruption against the country would be even worse. Sometimes, I can't believe how morally bankrupt, corrupted part of our government has become. For what? Power, money and corporate greed for certain people.

I remember when clinton basically told the american people we needed to look towards the future and there went the investigation. This is a "good old boys club" and the majority of the american people do not count. I actually believe that there are people who would betray the american people in a heartbeat if it would further their own agenda. And, the bcci-iran contra affair is a prime example.

Oliver North is no hero. Maybe someone can investigate what he was doing down in central america with the death squads. Wears his uniform to the hearing and everyone thinks he's some kind of hero for what? For destroying evidence, for helping put drugs on american streets, for helping the contras?

When the rule of law is not adhered to, it is the american people who suffer for it. Some of the same players involved in the scandal, played a part in little boots administration. Just more damage, more corruption. And people wonder why we are in the state we are in today.
