Somebody is Lying
As for the Iran-contra scandal, the excerpts released on Tuesday show the president denying any knowledge. “It is complete fiction,” he said of a tape delivered to the Tower Commission, which the president had appointed to investigate the scandal. According to a diary entry on Feb. 11, 1987, the tape recorded Lt. Col. Oliver North saying that he had met with the president at Camp David, and that the president “was willing to go all out with arms deliverys in order to get our hostages back & I wanted Iran to win the war.”
