    More than that; there is testimony that they used CIA planes to bring cocaine into the US so its sale would multiply available covert US funds to arm the contras. In my opinion, Iran-Contra was as dangerous to the US democracy as Watergate ever was; in one case, we had a sitting president of one major party bugging the other major party's campaign headquarters, and in the other, we had a shadow government operating for the sole purpose of pursuing a presidential policy that had expressly been forbidden by Congress. Both happened during Republican administrations; lying about a Democratic presidential-intern blowjob tryst or two pales into pastels by comparison.
