An otherwise fine editorial in the Portsmouth Herald on Admiral/felon Poindexter's "Terror Trading Program", includes this paragraph:
You remember Poindexter - he was the retired rear admiral who was relieved from his position as National Security Advisor during the Reagan administration after being convicted of conspiracy, lying to Congress, defrauding the government and destroying evidence in the Iran-Contra scandal. The only reason he is not in jail today is because he was granted immunity in the congressional investigation of the scandal.

... and was later pardoned by Geoge H. W. Bush, father of the current occupant.
At least the artcile questions Bush's sanity.
