i'm messing around with john bolton for my column this week.  here is an excellent source of info. who'dathunk that, like negroponte, he has roots firmly planted in iran/contra/crack?

When he worked as an assistant attorney general under Edwin Meese, Bolton thwarted the Kerry Commission’s efforts to obtain documentation, including Bolton’s personal notes, about the Iran-Contra affair and alleged Contra drug smuggling. Working with congressional Republicans, Bolton also stonewalled congressional demands to interview deputies of then-Attorney General Edwin Meese regarding their role in the affair.
