Absolutely agree with, regime a leave have cloister groups of people around them. That was absolutely true of the white house. Many of them knew far more about iraq than anyone in the white house. There you go.

Not something ordinary a bigger idea. Nothing was going to stop them. Sunday night at 8 00 eastern and pacific on cspans q a. The Harvard Food Law
Guest i was a postdoc at ucla and i was a fellow at the Hoover Institution. And so i wrote her and said, im interested in the american side of the story. I dont think theres enough reporting on it, and id like to look at the president s private papers. i didnt know what would be there, but i thought there might be something to help me to unravel the american contribution. And so she granted me access to the papers and hundreds of archival boxes. Into the project i came upupon a few boxes, actually storage boxes, filled with hundreds, reallyliterally thousands of pieces of paper of reagans handwriting. And it took a while to figure out what it meant. Some of it was disorganized. Some of it was organized in file folders, but not all of it. And it was fascinating. It was.
