Iran-Contra Hearings Look Inside the Administration

There’s no room in this Administration for an honest man of integrity who didn’t have the courage to ignore the old-fashioned ideas of President Harry Truman who said, “The buck stops here.” Poindexter, whose character is more in line with Reagan’s expectations, might be a little “fuzzy” in recalling Truman’s famous declaration. However, it’s quite possible that deceased CIA Director William Casey, in one final patriotic effort to keep this nation’s secrets forever secure, took the buck with him.
