The Iran/Contra scandal did not begin with Oliver North. Nor is it limited to Iran and Nicaragua. For a quarter century, a "Secret Team" of U.S. military and CIA officials, acting both officially and privately, has waged secret wars, toppled governments, trafficked in drugs, assassinated political foes, stolen from the U.S. government and run roughshod over the Constitution. 

The Christic Institute is out to stop this Secret Team. We filed a Federal lawsuit against Second, Hakim, Calero and 26 other Team members six months before the Iran/Contra scandal broke. We have since been granted broad legal authority to subpoena documents and compel testimony on their criminal activities.

The Christic Institute has been taking on difficult cases--and winning--since 1980. Our Supreme Court victory in the Karen Silkwood case struck a major blow for nuclear safety. We also sued and won judgements against KKK members and Nazis for the 1979 murders of anti-Klan demonstrators in Greensboro, North Carolina.

You can help us win our Contragate lawsuit by maxing a tax-deductable gift to the Christic Institute. For a contribution of $20 or more, we will send you a copy of our Contragate Affidavit on the history of the Secret Team, regular Contragate Alerts and the Institute's Convergence newsletter.

Join with us today. It's time for the American people to declare that secret wars, terrorism, drug trafficking and assassinations can never serve the cause of democracy.

Interesting aside: The court dismissed this case as political, and the CI lost its non-profit status. But it became the Romero Institute, a nonprofit law and public policy center in Santa Cruz, Ca. The institute has two main projects: the Lakota People's Law Project, and Greenpower.
