They have me spending a year and a half in a mental institution.

I didn't know physical rehab is now considered being in a mental institution.

Interesting. Interesting also that DUmmie "formercia" misstates the timing of the mining of Nicaragua's harbors. From a post of his copied on your link: "I was one of the CIA Officers that worked on the mining of the harbors in Nicaragua program. In January of 1982, I notified my superiors that I felt the program was illegal. Apparently, Poppy took great offense to this."

You'll see at The Consortium that the idea of the mining venture didn't come about until January 1984. And it was in 1984, according to other sources, that Congress became up in arms about their being left out of the picture.

It seems odd to me that someone with so much animosity toward the CIA and a former administration would be so specific about a date ("January of 1982") yet get it so wrong.

Actually, the project began in the fall of 1981. I know because I was there. sorry, assholes.

The mines were not dropped until the Spring of 1984. That's where they're confused.
