Robert "Bud" McFarlane served as national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan from 1983 to 1985.
During that time the administration faced the deadly attack on the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut; the abduction of the CIA's Beirut station chief, William Buckley; the bombing of the U.S. embassy annex in Beirut; the hijacking of TWA 847; and the commandeering of the Achille Lauro in the Mediterranean Sea.
Here, McFarlane offers his personal perspective on how the debates within the Reagan administration shaped the U.S. response to these events and others, and led to the U.S. policy of arms sales to Iran in exchange for hostages -- a policy McFarlane was largely responsible for carrying out.

MCFARLANE has a new scriptwriter, and so the prose is slightly more penetrable.
McFarlane's prior record and sadly unfortunate problems, and his difficulties in recalling the truth as displayed in his testimony in the various Iran-contra trials, make it unnecessary to refute in detail all of the new recollections and petulant foot-stamping used in this outburst.
This is most evident when, in the middle of one of McFarlane's many confessions, he contends that the President was also guilty of McFarlane's "glaring error." He is quite willing to create remarks that I never heard uttered by the President to support his case.

There was insufficient evidence that Gates committed a crime as he participated in the preparation of Casey's testimony, or that he was aware of critical facts indicating that some of the statements by Casey and others were false.
