[edit] Edward Patrick Boland

Who is this guy named Boland?Lan Di 20:23, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, his name is Edward Patrick Boland. Lan Di 20:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Intro

In the first line, we need a concise summary of what the amendment actually said/did. Ojcit 05:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Background

When referencing the notion that the CIA's acts of sabotage upset the Republican-controlled Senate, I see a fallacy. The Democrats swept the Congressional elections in 1982, and I would find it hard to believe that a Republican Congress would be outraged with a Republican President.

[edit] Background Item

Last paragraph unequivocally states that the secret diversion fo funds by Col. North received "explicit presidential approval". If that were a non-debatable fact, we would have been talking about the '86 Democratic Congress attempting to impeach Reagan. Hence, I insert the qualifier "some allege". 65.115.32.162 00:28, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Characterization of Civil War

I edited the first sentence to make it nPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.102.193 (talk) 03:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
