Flashback to Colonel Ollie North [View all]

The witness just arrived at the Capitol and was in full military dress uniform.

I recall how Ollie North came to the hearing in a similar manner during the Iran-Contra scandal.

It was very difficult to question a man in military uniform.

An interesting development.
