Quote of the Day: Senator Claiborne Pell (R.I.): "I think it's hypocritical to talk about wanting to eliminate terrorism in the world when we are supporting people seeking to overthrow a government. I call the Contras our terrorists." ..spoken after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted yesterday March 27, to prohibit any US foreign Aid money to be used to support the Contras fighting the Nicaraguan Goverment. Is the White House listening? Andy Berman

> Senator Claiborne Pell (R.I.): > "I think it's hypocritical to talk about wanting to > eliminate terrorism in the world when we are supporting > people seeking to overthrow a government. I call the > Contras our terrorists." Oh yes, Senator: Next the U.S. will be wanting to overthrow the U.K., France, W. Germany, Italy for good measure. We love overthrowing governments! The Honorable Senator would no doubt defend the "Libyan Government" and the "Iranian Government" along the same lines. It would never occur to him that such "governments" could be terroristic. No doubt he has never fully recovered from the most brutal overthrow of the Nazi Government. Such uncivil behaviour by those professing to be civil, what? ..{ihnp4,seismo}!rlgvax!plunkett
