Iran-Contra alum behind Terror Psychic Network

The Idiot who came up with the "Terror Psychic Network" is leaving the Pentagon over the flap. What's even more striking is his identity: it's John Poindexter, one of the people at the heart of the Iran-Contra scandal that rocked the Reagan Administration. For those too young to remember, in the Iran-Contra affair Reagan's kookiest spooks secretly sold arms to U.S. archenemy number 1 (Iran) in order to circumvent Congressional demands that they not fund an opposition army against U.S. archenemy number 2 (Nicaragua), with the money being funneled through the country that then and now still inexplicably isn't public enemy number 3 (Saudi Arabia). It was the circuitousness of it all more than anything that kept Reagan out of jail for all of this. Why Poindexter was ever allowed back anywhere near Washington, much less the Pentagon, is a mystery. Here are some articles on Poindexter's return to Washington and return of the Iran-Contra crew to the (Bush II) White House. Here's another article on the resignation of the Reagan crook turned Bush-II fool.
