Senator Daniel K. Inouye in 1987 Chaired the Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaraguan Opposition, which held public hearings on the Iran-Contra affair.

Senator Inouye, summarizes here the coverup of the US Shadowy Government involvement; by saying:

"There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself."

For more context and perspective, please check the PBS documentary by Bill Moyers "The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crises", which was broadcast in 1987; the full documentary could be watched on Google Video.

    If you google the quote, the NY Times ran the transcript in full. It is taken totally out of context. Quite funny how cters use it to support an idea it has nothing to do with

    Powerful JRE! I've just finished the Eddie Huang episode so 331 is next on the list :). I meant by "out of context" that he's issuing the statement as a prophetic warning, not as a statement of something that exists.
