4. Is tangible evidence ever provided in support of these "assessments"?

Or is it always too secret, "dreadful dangers that we cannot see, and do not understand." (The Power of Nightmares, BBC)

8. Mr Iran Contra - Negroponte?

At Negroponte’s direction the Honduran military provided protection and assistance to the Contra terrorists. With his tacit permission, if not active encouragement, the Honduran military carried out systematic murders of refugees from war-torn El Salvador and among its domestic opponents in Honduras itself.
