Did the Reagan Administration MURDER an American Citizen? (Ben Linder)
Advertisements [?]
Ben Linder wasn't a soldier working for the Sandinistas or a revolutionary agent.

Ben Linder was a humanitarian activist, working on vaccinating poor Nicaraguans, entertaining children, and working on projects to bring power to the Nicaraguan people.

It was that last thing that got him and two other innocent Nicaraguan people killed by the Contras.

I'm no law expert, but I know enough to know that when you tell someone to murder someone and they go through with it, then you are just as responsible for that person's death as the actual murderer is.

Linder wasn't caught in the "crossfire", it was the Reagan/Contra doctrine to target social services and the people who worked on them. Linder was targeted by the Contras.

As far as I'm concerned, the members of the Reagan Administration threw a grenade and shot Linder in the head as well as the Contras who did it.

And the people behind this murder, they aren't in prison, they're in the White House.
