More clarity, please!
:Yes, that's how I remember it. Ted Kennedy was involved in the legislation too, I think. And it was all related to the dispute over whether the [[Contras]] were morally or ethically better than the [[Sandinistas]] of Nicaragua or the "death squads" of [[El Salvador]]. Since a friend of mine actually filmed a documentary on the topic, I may be a bit biased. I'm one of those pro-freedom, anti-murder partisans you're always reading about. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 16:44, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

:: A lot of the impetus for the Boland Amendment was the discovery that the CIA was involved in helping the Contras mine Nicaragua's harbors, and that this operation had begun without Congressional approval. This revelation caused a backlash even among Congressmen that were generally sympathetic to the Contras.--[[User:Epicurius|Epicurius]] 17:26, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

:::: That should be in the article then. We're trying to figure out the relationship between (1) Nicaragua, (2) the Contras, (3) the Reagan administration, (4) the Boland amendemnt, (5) Israel & Iran and everything else. I like connections and relationships, because I'm a software engineer and I like to draw diagrams. Drives everyone else around me batty. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 18:35, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
