Oh 'ya back to Ledeen. Michael with his connections to the PSI (any P2-Masonic lodge connections, I wonder?) and the Israeli Labor party through, Shimon Peres, was one of Ollie North's go-betweens. In a report (cover price $250, I got it for a dollar) by Lyndon LaRouche's Executive Intelligence Review, just after Iran-Contra broke, all this is gone into- with the bizarre interpretration that Jay Lovestone, Tom Kahn, Ledeen, William Doherty, etc. were still Lovestoneite communists and not neo-con labor lieutenants of imperialist intrigue (llii, alliteration, wasn't even trying).
Doubtless, a better source, would be Theodore Draper's huge book on Iran-Contra, but reading LaRouche is so fun. You do know, of course, he says (along with Christian right loon, Paul Weyrich) that Theodor Adorno and John Dewey were the intellectual authors of the deeds of the Littleton/Columbine high school killers? 'Ya that Theodor, what a killer! Call Oliver Stone, you can title the script, "Negative Dialectics, " or ," Dialectic of Enlightenment, "! Makes more sense than blaming video games or gothic/industrial rock! Though think if those two kids had been into 12 tone, Schoenberg! (Better that than KMFDM, which Klebold and Harris did like, which I've been told stands for Kill M****rf*****g Depeche Mode.)
