In his 1991 book, Oliver L. North claims that Reagan

knew about the use of residuals for the Contras. Which

fact from "The Iran-Contra Affair" makes North's claim

more credible?

North diverted funds, with the full knowledge of

Reagan's national security advisor.

North's superior, Admiral John Poindexter, resigned,

and North quit.

North was convicted, but his conviction was later

overturned on a technicality.

Fourteen people were charged with either

operational or cover-up crimes.
