• Todos conocemos el legado de Reagan, desde el asunto Irán-Contra hasta la financiación de los militares nicaragüenses en la que murieron más de 200.000 personas. El trabajo de base para el movimiento constante hacia la derecha se produjo con la administración Reagan. La gente quiere elevarlo a un nivel mítico; tienen sus propias razones para hacerlo.

• Even if corners were cut, (Iran-Contra) was a brilliant scheme. There is no possibility that anyone in any Democratic administration would have gone to such lengths to fund anti-Communist forces. When Democrats scheme from the White House, it's to cover up the President's affair with an intern. When Republicans scheme, it's to support embattled anti-Communist freedom fighters sold out by the Democrats.

• There was no news in the Dan Rather piece. They didn't say [to Bush]: "We found a piece of paper that was overlooked in the 300,000 pieces of paper that were covered in the Iran-Contra hearings, and we have a piece of news we'd like to ask you about." CBS decided to create a media event and cover it in its own fashion. This was unprecedented in American history. CBS cancelled two-thirds of the newscast... to get a guy and take him out.
