The indictment of the Reagan Administration read, "In or before the middle of 1985, the defendents Oliver L. North, Richard V. Secord and Albert Hakim and others commenced an enterprise that was intended, among other things, to support military and paramilitary operations in Nicaragua by the Contras and to conduct covert action operations."
The Boland Amendment was a joke, manufactured to stop Reagan from supporting the Contra freedom fighters. For all intents and purposes the Democrat party aided and abetted a Soviet backed Marxist-Leninist (read pattern murderers) tyranny.
When Harkin and Kerry illegally went to Nicaragua, unofficially negotiating with foreign leaders, they said that Ortega was, "a misunderstood democrat rather than a Marxist autocrat."
