add to cart   close window

At the end of one day of Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North's testimony before the Congressional select committees Investigating the Iran/contra scandal, two conspiracy minded journalists cornered a committee, member and asked what it meant that three figures in the scandal had all died. Conspiracy theories of the Iran/contra affair have been flourishing since the first news of the scandal and the testimony of North, Rear Administrator John Poindexter and others is not likely to discourage them. The public and Congress need a comprehensible framework for making sense of the avalanche of details generated by the scandal and the hearings.
