George W. Bush appointed John Poindexter as Director of the Pentagon's Information Awareness Office, the man convicted in 1990 on five felony charges of conspiracy, making false statements to Congress and obstructing congressional inquiries.
George W. Bush appointed Elliott Abrams special White House assistant for democracy and human rights. Another former Iran-Contra defendant, Abrams pleaded guilty to withholding information from Congress, then was pardoned by the first President Bush.
George W. Bush appointed Otto Reich as the State Department's top official for Latin America. From 1983 to 1986, Reich led a State Department office accused of a covert domestic-propaganda effort against Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government.
George W. Bush appointed Lee Hamilton to handle the 9-11 investigation. Hamiltion was chairman of the House select committee investigating the Iran-contra affair. Despite being shown ample evidence against Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, he did not probe their wrongdoing, explaining later on PBS 'Frontline,' that he did not think it would have been 'good for the country' to put the public through another impeachment trial.
Bush has also appointed at least four others involved in the Iran Contra scandal: Richard Armitage, John Negroponte, Mitch Daniels, and Rogelio Pardo-Maurer
These are the same people that John Kerry has fought to remove from government because of their support of terrorism.Is it just me, or does it seem like no one is willing to take this and run with it?
