Oliver North is an American Patriot and has done more for this nation than most. I think the coolest thing he did was to hook up with Fawn Hall. (FIFY) coordinate the forced landing of the airliner carrying the terrorist responsible for the murderer of Leon Klinghoffer during the Achille Lauro incident. Captured Abdul Abas.

Judge Gesell dismissed all charges against North on September 16, 1991.  Not quite a convicted felon.

Terry Reed in his book Compromised, Clinton, Bush and the CIA was not exactly complimentary about North.  Though the be honest, he appeared like a boy scout compared to some of the other players.  His most unflatterying accounts were of "The Boy" Bill Clinton, a real pot smoking womanizing asshole.

That would be me.  Ollie has a vibrant personality.  Maybe he and the newly elected BOD members can make some movement.   Nothing would please me more than see some movement away from Fuddism.  We'll see, but I'm not holding my breath.

North also got in trouble for using government funds to make improvements on his personal home.  Most of it was security related, if I recall.  Fencing, alarm, upgraded windows and doors.  Told Congress that if they had got on Abu Nidal's hit list they'd want upgraded security, too.

He was integral in conceiving and executing the sale of anti tank and aircraft missiles to Iranian dissidents and transferring the proceeds to rebels in Nicaragua. That second part was specifically against Federal Law written by Congress concerning Nicaragua, and perhaps larger a violation of Constitutional provisions which prevent the Executive from going to war independently in both cases. The destruction of evidence and lying to Congress came after all of that.

The idea that he's put at the top of a Conservative organization is just another self-inflicted wound. And of course some people will defend him no doubt even though it's clear as day what he did.

Depends if we drove to the same mall, I would think.

Let me ask you: If people are banned, then unbanned, the thread explaining such is disappered. Were they really banned?
