Well, the problem I had with the language is that the US didn't "provide arms" to the Contras, for the most part. They provided funds (to the extent that the funds got to the Contras. Mr. Schlafly is right that a lot of the money didn't go to the Contras). Here's the Walsh report...the document by the Independent Counsel laying out his findings.[http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/walsh/]--[[User:Epicurius|Epicurius]] 17:14, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

:There's a discussion on my talk page right now about this; from memory, I thought it was private arms dealers Khashoggi & Ghorbanifar involved on the Iraeli/Iranian end, with Gen Secord then involved in procuring Contra's needs on the Central American end; bu now somebody alleges Secord bought from the Pentagon directly. Needs to be looked into closer. 17:19, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
