Reagan’s Speech on the Contras
In his speech, President Reagan said he had knowledge of other countries and individuals helping the contras, but none of the diversion of funds from the Iranian arms sales. It is still hard to believe. With the shredding of documents by Lt. Col. Oliver North and Rear Adm. John Poindexter and the death of CIA Director William Casey, we will never know the whole story. There will always be a doubt.
