did they not break the laws of the united states whether you agree witht the laws or not?? in my mind those are all acts of treason. I get so disgusted when ollie north who sold weapons to iran to fund a covert war in nicaragua a national hero. When stupid people such as hannity and other ultra conservatives (ultra because they never admit their party makes bad decisions and mistakes that hurts us all) call him a hero its a terrible thing to have to explain to the younger folks who ask daddy didnt he break our laws.

Nick get ready the neocons and other loyalist are going to call you every name in the book. You have dared to expose the bad behavior of Ollie and Reagan and that will not be tolerated. Keep your children away from YA for a few days because it is going to get ugly. Don't you know when we support terrorists they are freedom fighters. And Libby is just another bought and paid for talking head.

I have to agree with you on this one. I was always surprised that FOX used felons as experts (even if North was pardoned he was still convicted as a felon and while the pardon expunged that I would think that it would not be appropriate for a news agency to employ him).
I am not a liberal either... I just think its wrong; I mean Libby can't even a own a firearm or vote... we don't use British or French columnists to speak of American politics unless its from a foreign perspective (in other words, they give context into another country's perspective... is Libby and North giving the perspective and pulse of felons across the United States?) I know these men are very popular with the Right Wing and that is great but if FOX news is claiming to be objective and reporting to all Americans... well, I think that they are doing it in a poor fashion.
I don't have a problem with either one of them running a show like Dr. Phil though... just not on the news.

If the US goes to war with Iran, US soldiers will be attack with Toophan missiles, which are reverse engineered from American missiles supplied by Olly North.
They may also get attacked by F-14's made in the USA and supplied by Olly North.
If FOX has to report dead Americans in an Iranian war the commentary will be something like this "Why that Abrams sure did exploded in a big way, and now over to the man who gave the Iranians this capability in the first place, our correspondent Colonel North."

the same reason when bill Clinton is asked his expert opinion or when sandy burger (who stole and shredded memos) or any other Dem who committed crimes, they are a part of history and listening to their opinions can be helpful sometimes, either for the negative or the positive.
scandals are a plenty on both sides of the isle so you should be careful when throwing stones as you can never tell who they will hit.

You better take a look at what the democrats have done over the past few decades. Both side have been doing pretty much anything that they can cover up or blame on someone else.
And WE end up footing the bill.

Once again when we can't come up with an excuse for what the conservatives did, we just bash the other side. Better to say nothing.

It's Fox 'news' (an oxymoron if ever there was one). Fox is an organ of the Republican Party masquerading as a news service.

What you would rather have someone like Michael Moore as a hero or expert. Both North and Libby are military experts based on past experience so no problem with giving them their due.

Ollie didn't sell weapons to Iran, so your whole argument is flawed. Israel sold the weapons to Iran. We repaid Israel.
