Another ? - Who in this admin worked for Nixon and how? Iran/Contra?

Please explain admin people who worked for Nixon and in what capacity and then which ones were involved in Iran/Contra and how.

I need to know so I can have some perspective. I have been reflecting alot on this whole debacle and some of it stinks so much off lessons learned.

Thanks in advance!

Any more out there?

were young guns in the Nixon Admin. So was Pat Buchanan.

We know that george w. hated Saddam for the conflict involving him and bush's dad. Kerry was the senator who exposed Iran-Contra, which was bush's dad's baby. It was, in my opinion, the most serious constitutional violation up until this administration. Further, the history of the Nixon administration's preoccupation with Kerry is intense. I do not believe that anyone can hope to grasp the severity of this election in terms of our future, without first studying in detail the Nixon- Reagan connections. I applaud your question.

which placed her squarely onto the Nixon Enemies list.

It is important to be able to put this all in the correct context. It is at times complexe, because of the enormous cast of characters and competing interests. But your point is SO significant. That list never died. Old grudges are being played out today. (It's curious to see how some people have changed. Dean's book, Worse Than Watergate, was very good. And Ted Kennedy, despite having had a few behaviors that were not admirable, has matured into being one of the truly great senators in our nation's history.) Thanks for mentioning the important connection with senator Clinton!

Some of today's peeps came to the fore in the Ford administration. Cheney was Ford's Chief of Staff, Rumsfeld his Defence Secretary (& Poppy head of CIA) -- the "Team B" exercise gave us Wolfowitz amoungst others & all the while, the hardline anti-communist lobby group the "Committee on the Present Danger" provided many of the peeps we know today (Perle et al) as well as Reagan era criminals.

I can't really think of any of today's lot who played any major role in the Nixon admnistration (although Colin Powell had his hand in trying to cover up up Mai Lai)

Also - "Iran-contra men return to power "

Elliott Abrams Ex-assistant secretary with Ronald Reagan, backed invasion of Nicaragua and Panama. Witheld information during Iran-Contra scandal but was pardoned in 1992. A protege of Reagan's UN envoy, Jeane Kirkpatrick

John Negroponte Bush choice for UN ambassador. Was US envoy to Honduras from 1981-85 during illegal war on Nicaragua. Accused of misleading Congress about abuses in Honduras

Otto Reich Bush choice for assistant secretary of state for western hemispheric affairs. Anti-Castro hardliner who led state department from 1983-86. Accused of covert propaganda campaign against Sandinistas

John Walters Choice for drug tsar. Wants jail for users and opposes medicinal use of cannabis. Son of General Vernon Walter, Nixon's deputy chief of the CIA

Hope this helps!

is a good read by John Dean.

but he's in the WH, also Ollie North works for the propaganda wing over at fox news.

But in the new issue of Harpers, Lewis Lapham write Colin Powell used the "I don't recall" line something like 56 times in the Iran/Contra hearings.

In all the finger pointing at Negroponte, Poindexter, et al, we don't hear too much about that.

According to an AP report from March 13, 2002 the following "men" are Iran-Contra Alumni (aka criminals and killers) serving in the unelected fraud's administration:

John Poindexter (has since returned to operating in the shadows)

Elliott Abrams

Otto Reich

Richard Armitage

John Negroponte

Mitch Daniels

The story, which I clipped when it ran back in '02, lays out what role each killer-crook played back in big 80s. The story also explains what criminal enterprise each killer-crook is currently running for the unelected, fraudulent, murderous, and criminal Bushler administration.

I tried to google this story to find you a link. None of the links still worked, except one where the whole story was laid out on the Free Republic's message board.

WARNING: Free Repub is a disgusting neo-fascist site.

Other monsters from the Iran-Contra crimes who keep popping up in the emerging, Bushler Fascist state include:

Adnan Khashoggi (Saudi arms dealer, certified Bush Crime Family Capo)

Michael Leeden (neo-con punk)

Albert Hakim (who recently died of a "heart attack," I think in South Korea.)

Abu Nidal -- A "terrorist" who that traitor Ollie North claimed was trying to kill Ollie and his family. I think Nidal was killed in Iraq during the run up to the fatherland's invasion of Iraq.

I'm not 100% sure of the facts as I've laid them out here, but I'd bet I'm pretty close.

A good book to read re: Iran Contra is Walsh's "Firewall"
