The Iran Contra Affair Part 2
About this episode
This episode discusses the unraveling coverup of the Iran Contra Affair, focusing on illegal arms sales and their implications.
In part 2, we see the coverup unravel. Not only did the Reagan administration have to explain damning evidence of arms for hostages, but also the diversion of profits from those arms sales to the Contras, both of which are highly illegal, not to mention hypocritical.
