Oliver North at Greensboro Boy Scouts

[BeyondThePale]

I am very disturbed to learn that the Old North State Council (Boy Scouts in the Greensboro, NC area) have invited Oliver North to speak at a scout fundraiser. What in the hell kind of message does this send? I would appreciate your thoughts and comments as I prepare a letter to the scouting office.

3. What a role model-NOT, I hold him and his CIA buddies partly responsible

for my older sister's 25 year battle with drugs. She was a bright, politically active student living and working in the Bay Area when Ollie and gang helped bring in tons of cocaine to the area to fund the war in Central America. I won't even get into his lying or his overturned convictions...
