:25:00
In Central America,
he probably popped a couple of heads.
:25:03
Set up an organisation, Broken Dove, which
supplied transport planes to US operatives.
:25:08
Got his hands dirty in Iran-Contra,
but the Senate washed him clean.
:25:12
- I can't recall, sir.
- You can't recall. I see.
:25:16
Did you or your organisation Broken Dove
:25:20
have anything to do with a transport plane
downed in Nicaragua...
:25:23
- Sir...
... on May 23rd, 1987?
:25:26
The plane was contracted
to fly humanitarian supplies
:25:29
into impoverished regions
in southern Honduras.
:25:33
Broken Dove is a private relief corporation.
:25:37
You had no knowledge of the guns
on that plane?
:25:40
No, sir.
:25:41
The three men were all
close business associates of yours?
:25:44
Rest their souls, yes.
:25:47
They were patriots acting
on their own volition, their own beliefs.
:25:50
Can you sum up these beliefs for us?
:25:53
That the US Congress was restricting
the growth and safeguard of democracy
:25:58
in Central America.
:26:00
That the actions of these men,
although against the Boland Amendment,
:26:04
were nevertheless on the side
of goodness and decency.
:26:07
I have a copy of an FBI report
:26:09
regarding traces of cocaine
found on one of the transport planes.
:26:13
This is sensitive material
that should be dealt with in closed session.
:26:16
This is an example of the depths to which
the US Congress is prepared to sink.
:26:22
This is a travesty.
:26:24
[Terry] The charges were found to be
groundless and Broken Dove was exonerated.
:26:28
The whole investigation was a sham.
:26:31
They discovered a secret government of liars
and drug smugglers and did nothing.
:26:35
Slap on the wrist.
The story died in the major press.
:26:38
Idiots like me keep investigating
to find out how deep it goes.
:26:42
I have a contact who claims to have evidence
:26:44
that connects Broken Dove to a failed
savings and loan. It could be big. Gotta go.
:26:49
[Hayden] I cannot believe the lies
and innuendo you have been the victim of.
:26:54
It is clear that you had no involvement with
this escapade and we're wasting your time.
