It was 1987!   At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of  Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan  Administration.

There was Ollie in front of God and country getting  the third degree, but what he said was stunning!

He was being drilled  by a senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security  system?"

Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir."

The senator  continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a  little excessive?"

"No, sir," continued Ollie.

"No? And why  not?" the senator asked.

"Because the lives of my family and I were  threatened, sir."

"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.  
"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie ans! wered.

"Terrorist? What  terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"

"His name is Osama bin  Laden, sir" Ollie replied.

At this point the senator tried to repeat  the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably  couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator  continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked.  

"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie  answered.


"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.  

"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin  team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."  

The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was  shown of the clip.
  


By the way, that senator was  Al Gore!  

Also:

Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta  blew up a bus in
Israel in  1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo  agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release  so-called "political prisoners."

However, the Israelis would not  release any with blood on their hands, The American President at the time,  Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that  all prisoners be released.
 
                  
Thus Mohammad Atta was  freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of  the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks  at the time that the terrorists were first identified.
It was censored in the US  from all later reports.

If you agree that the American public should be made aware of  this fact, pass this on.
