Interference with a Senate investigation.

Shouted, "What about the cocaine?".

75 years.

4. Hmmmm. Google "what about the cocaine",iran-conta

You get all manner of Gary Webb (suicided by two shots to the head) articles and others but nothing on sentencing.

I remember it clearly, tho.

You will get, however, a pretty decent history of CIA, Iran-Contra, and cocaine.

I had a personal involvement in this but am not foolish enough to post here or anywhere else given today's climate and what I am watching on C-SPAN right now.

5. I do know of and acknowledge the other aspects you bring up...

but, I'd never heard of some poor guying being essentially "gitmoed" for the rest of his life. Does he have no family, friends or advocates? :shrug:

6. I can't find a thing on the sentencing. Maybe lexus/nexus can.

I do remember interviews with one of the guys' family.
Larry Bensky (sp?) did some stuff on NPR, as well.

Damn.
