Food for Thought for Think Tanks
* Headline Sept. 30:: “Reagan Library Discards Think-Tank Plan.” Aren’t “Reagan” and “ThinkTank” an oxymoron?
However, should the nabobs reconsider, I suggest the following items to think about: Illegal funding of Contras of Nicaragua; secret Iran policy, i.e., arms for hostages; ignoring human rights in El Salvador; $5-billion secret Iraq policy; Star Wars fraud and idiocy; our unusual alliance with Noriega.
I doubt that the distinguished “thinkers” will want to tangle with these issues and will employ the all-encompassing cliche of politics everywhere; to wit, “We want to put those questions behind us.”
