#2 Sorry, it may have been an inappropriate joke. The whole "shadow war" beef against Reagan bothers me. I linked the Flying Tigers because that certainly is a case of a president defying Congress. All the pilots were paid through back channels by the US governement.

Here are some other unauthorized meanders across the line into the grey area of presidential ehtos: the Secret War in Laos, Air America running supplies to the French in Bien Dien Phu, and the Bay of Pigs - all of these "gross crimes" were perpetrated by Democratic Administrations to hurt Totalitarian regimes. And, you know, I support every one of them. I don't understand how we can turn-up our nose at spiking Ortega's Communist thugs. [rant/]
