Poindexter is a good example of the truism that no one thinks of themselves as a bad person. Here he was found guilty of perjuring himself in the Iran/Contra affair, being released only on a bare technicality, and then he has the chutzpah to go back into government. But his spots didn't change- he's still obviously as over the top as ever. I'm just glad -very glad - that it was he who came up with the harebrained idea of a Death and Destruction Futures. (Can you imagine!!)

I suspect he will now go into comfortable retirement and someday recount his exploits to his grandchildren. But I don't care- as long as he is securely out of 'public' service.
