Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
When I read your Sept. 19 editorial on Oliver North (not ”Ollie”
North), I thought you had demoted Bernie Lincicome to the editorial page.
Your editorial writer labeled North as a ”scoundrel”; Ronald Reagan called him a national hero. You`re right that most Americans know how to tell a hero from a scoundrel. But you pinned that label on the wrong person.
The real scoundrel in this case was prosecutor Lawrence Walsh, who wasted $27 million-plus on a make-work project for an army of lawyers that went on and on and on. On a scale of 1 to 10, Walsh`s efforts as far as productivity is concerned is about minus 2.
