>>At a lecture the other day they played 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 some 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 answered.
>>
>>"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.
>>
>>If anyone is interested, the senator turned out to be
>>none other than Al Gore.............
