The US didn't provide arms to the Contras through Israel. Arms were sold to the Iranians, through Israel, and then the money from the sale of those weapons went to the Contras.--[[User:Epicurius|Epicurius]] 16:35, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

: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)
