I remember that decade well. Regan was on all the TV channels at the time, pledging loyal support for the 'cause of "Nicaraguan freedom fighters" over and over like a broken record "I will speak and work, strive and struggle for their cause" etc. You know when they grovel and pander like that, there's something else really going on, a whole universe of BS behind the scripted lies and careful deceit marketed upon a duped, clueless public.

Excellent documentary by Bill Moyers. When there was such a thing as actual, real investigative journalism broadcast in mainstream America. Keep in mind this was from 1987. Fast-forward to today, has it all since disbanded?.......
"There's a law which requires presidents to make a 'finding' that the national interest will be served by a covert action, and report it to congress in a timely fashion... but president Reagan gave himself permission to ignore the requirements of the law..."
It is unsettling that presidents have a contempt for the law they have vowed to uphold and serve. We certainly deserve better as a country, as a people instead of settling for sellout mis-leaders. - malignatius, on 08/30/2008, -0/+10In 2000, the Taliban had issued a ban on opium production, which led to reductions in Pashtun Mafia opium production by as much as 90%. Soon after the 2001 US led invasion of Afghanistan, however, opium production increased markedly. By 2005, Afghanistan had regained its position as the world’s #1 opium producer and was producing 90% of the world’s opium, most of which is processed into heroin and sold in Europe and Russia.
'Nuff Said.
