28. One president was impeached for lying under oath about a sexual affair
Edited on Mon Jul-12-04 10:49 AM by MetaTrope
So keep it in the public's eye that Powell lied under oath about arms sales to Iran.

The notes demonstrated that Weinberger’s early testimony that he had only vague and generalized information about Iran arms sales in 1985 was false, and that he in fact had detailed information on the proposed arms sales and the actual deliveries. The notes also revealed that Gen. Colin Powell, Weinberger’s senior military aide, and Richard L. Armitage, assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs, also had detailed knowledge of the 1985 shipments from Israeli stocks. Armitage and Powell had testified that they did not learn of the November 1985 HAWK missile shipment until 1986.

Powell's one of those who should have been behind bars after Reagan's presidency.
