Part 1 of Enemies, a nonfiction series exploring the relationship through history of the various branches and offices of government, largely focused on Watergate. Tonight’s Part 2 examines a more recent scandal, Iran-Contra, in which President Ronald Reagan wanted to free U.S. hostages held in Lebanon, and fund the anti-Communist Contra movement there. “Arms for hostages?” Reagan and the government insisted there was no “Arms for hostages” deal in play, but the reality was… yes, there was. Attorney General Ed Meese served Reagan more than the country, and National Security Council aides Oliver North and John Poindexter basically did Reagan’s bidding, while The FBI stood firm and continued to investigate. Reagan’s team, before it was over, shredded documents, committed perjury, and concealed evidence. Any connections or parallels to today’s governmental operations, I’ll leave to you.
