Who here remembers this scandal from the Reagan Era? I know some of the basics, but I am looking for some more details.

Plus and more importantly I want your opinion on the subject.
Meaning did things turn out like they were supposed too and such?

No, it didn't work out as they hoped.. they got caught

The whole proceedings and history are up on the internet if you want all the details. I once had the chance to have dinner with Donald Gregg, but the whole N. Korean thing blew up and he was called away.. <sigh>

Thanks and while I appreciate you going to the trouble to look that up for me, I am looking more for the boards opinion on this subject, and what they personally know about it. The reason I ask is because there are many people who do not realize what it was truely about or have certain misconceptions about certain facts.
Just FYI I recently turned in a research paper on this subject and in retrospect wanted to come here and see what some of you think about it.
