Tracing The Bush Disease Back to its Roots

David Corn takes another look at a 1989 article tying John Bolton to the Iran-Contra scandal.

There's an awfaul lot of Bush's gang who are linked to that scandal one way or another. Like the post-Nixon Church Committee, the Iran-Contra investigation was a half-hearted attempt to clean up a big mess, which only led to worse problems down the line. Oliver North came out of it looking like a hero to many US citizens and you can bet those are the very same people voting for Bush today.

What's that old saying about if you don't kill something off the first time, it's gonna come back a hundred times worse....?
