>> DO YOU REMEMBER 1987.......
>> I had forgotten all of this. Do you remember when the senators were
>> giving Ollie North such a bad time? This brings it all into
>> perspective doesn't it? Have a great day.
>> THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THIS FORGOTTEN BIT OF
>> INFORMATION.........
>> It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news
>> video of
>> Lt. Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during
>> the Reagan
>> Administration.
>> There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the
>> third degree, but what he said was stunning!
>> He was being drilled by a senator, 'Did you not recently spend close
>> to
>> $60,000 for a home security system?'
>> Ollie replied, 'Yes, I did, Sir.'
>> The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the
>> audience, 'Isn't that just a little excessive?'
>> 'No, sir,' continued Ollie.
>> 'No? And why not?' the senator asked.
>> 'Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir.'
>> 'Threatened? By whom?' the senator questioned..
>> 'By a terrorist, sir' Ollie answered.
>> 'Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?'
>> 'His name is Osama bin Laden, sir' Ollie replied.
>> At this point the senator tried to repeat the name,
>> but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then
>> probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt.
>> Then the senator continued.. Why are you so
>> afraid of this man?' the senator asked.
>> 'Because, sir, he is the most
>> evil person alive that I know of', Ollie answered.
>> 'And what do you recommend we do about him?' asked the senator..
>> 'Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an
>> assassin team be formed to
>> eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth.'
>> The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that
>> was shown of the clip.
>> By the way, that senator was Al Gore!
>> Also:
>> Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in
>> Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and
>> imprisoned him. As part of the
>> Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in1993,
>> Israel had to agree to release
>> so-called 'political prisoners.'
>> However, the Israelis would not release
>> any with blood on their hands. The American
>> President at the time, Bill Clinton,
>> and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher,
>> 'insisted' that all prisoners be
>> released.
>> Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked
>> us by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center .
>> This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time
>> that the terrorists were first identified.
>> It was censored in the US from all later reports.
>> If you agree that the American public should be made
>> aware of this fact, pass this on.
>> Do Not Break - it is 8 years strong.
>> This has not been broken since 9/11/01,
>> please keep it going...
>> This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11. In memory of
>> all those who perished this morning; the
>> passengers and the pilots on the
>> United Air and AA flights, the workers in the World
>> Trade Center and the
>> Pentagon, and all the innocent bystanders..
>> Our prayers go out to the friends and
>> families of the deceased.
>> Send this to at least 10 people to show your support.
>> PLEASE DON'T BREAK IT!!!!!!

As always, a 5-second Google search negates the whole forward:

The Reagan administration regarded Osama bin Laden as one of the good guys. That's why they gave him weapons and money.

What could possibly go wrong?

My favorite comment (by Katz) from when we analyzed this back in 2010:

"I also think that it's funny that buying a security system for his house a decade too early is somehow seen as brilliant foresight. Did he think Bin Laden was going to TP him?"

Oh the so-called "Great Murkin Patriot" Ollie North. Let's ask real journalist Gary Webb what he thinks about this lying drivel.

Oh wait...
