Good evening Mark,

I referenced your post in the following thread at DU:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4351278&mesg_id=4351278

One respondent cited the following article:

"From Cradle to Cabal: The Secret Life of Gale Norton" by Al Martin & Steve Webb

In that article, they link Margolis to a role in the putative cover-up by the Department of Justice of Iran-Contra. Here is the link:

Here's but one quote from the article:

"Radek, Margolis and Richards were the three top control guys in the Department of Justice. They were nominally under George W. Terwilliger. Margolis had the function of liaising with the CIA pursuant to the Iran-Contra Cover-up. His contact in the CIA was then CLO (Congressional Liaison Officer) Thomas Rinehart. This position actually involves much power. This person at the CIA is the officer who ultimately clears all the requests for documents the congressional investigating committees make to the CIA. The CLO will often manage a pan-agency cover-up and will often be the CIA's chief guy in liaising with all the other federal agencies, in this case, the Iran-Contra Cover-up."

I know we all would be grateful and interested in your perspective on this matter.

You will also find at comment # 22 in the DU thread that "OrwellwasRight" has posted that he konws you and clearly respects your ideas.

So, if you can help us gain a better understanding of Mr Margolis role in the Iran-Contra criminal fiasco, we would appreciate it.

Peace,
