The joint hearings of the House Elect Committee to investigate covert arms transaction with iran. And the select committee on secret military assistance to iran and the nicaraguan opposition we all come to Order Congress began to address what they perceive to be an insanely out of control series of covert actions with little to no congressional oversight we have been supplying lethal weapons to terrorist nation involving the Us Government in military activities in direct contravention of the law and lying to the congress now i believe that democracy cannot survive that kind of abuse. And people like dick cheney and Donald Rumsfeld who are relatively new to government at the time did not like when congress had we need to step in and confront the National Security state and whats become a very out of control kill program cheney then went on during the reagan years in the eightys to serve in congress and when the iran contra scandal broke out into the open cheney did not Like Congress being involved with anything that the executive branch was doing.

I think that there was a substantial shadow government trying to run fine if they actually managed a.

S. Should be conducting its National Security policy he is a radical subscriber to this notion of the unitary executive effectively what youre doing is saying on certain parts of american policy we dont have a democracy we have a dictatorship as a matter of fact i was.
