Bush's Smoking Gun on Iran Contra Shenanigans

Ollie North and pals erroneously thought that DELETE meant DELETE when using the White House email system. Editor Tom Blanton andthe National Security Archive people explain how the George Bush people tried to bury the evidence - then they present VERBATIM the evidence. Blanton reprints in the book about 240 of the 4,000 extant messages pried loose, and another 260 on diskette. You have to be combination History Wonk and Voyeur to truly appreciate these messages. In light of the litigation to recover Clinton White House email, this is a fascinating look at how the system works. Oh, and Ollie North comes across as knowing and controlling exactly what was going on - the Reagan-Bush administration's role in obfuscating the truth is patently obvious in reading these emails. Ain't Federal Immunity grand?
