Just to clarify-the Roman Catholic church wasn't anti-Sandinista. In fact, the Roman Catholic diocese was where the Liberation Theology that was the basis of the Sandinista supporters sprung from. Now, this doesn't mean there was opposition to this theological thoughtline from within the church, but when I say within the church, I mean from certain European priests and cardinals (specifically from our the new Pope). Almost all the cardinals in central america were followers/expousers of LT, and the rest were supportive of it. (Remember Cardinal Romero? The priest that the CIA assassinated for being such a thorn in the side of American domination of the region? Roman Catholic, FYI) However, this opposition had a few disadvantages from the church, the main one being that the popes, whilst not supporting 100% this ofshoot, were actually supportive of the theological base of LT. So whilst you may be able to quote a few cardinals here and there, to say the Roman catholic church was against the Sandinistas is disingenuous at the very least, and manipulative of the facts more so.

As far as the plausible deniability you're expousing....sorry, but I call "bullshit" on it. As I said, Falwell was in direct contact with Reagan (he was an advisor) and he made very clear what these "church" groups were going to do with the funding. Reagan had the State department provide the funding once he finished ejaculating the warm-flat-pepsi-like liquid that passes for cum. To say "we gave them money, but we have no responsibility for what they do with it" (hey, isn't this what Republicans bitch about when complaining about Liberals tossing money towards a problem? Nice to see the hypocrisy flowing so freely)....well, how you can logically deny the responsibility for the actions of groups we funded BECAUSE of what they were going to do just escapes me....and I'm sure anybody else who uses logic for the basis of their reasoning. Your excuse making is starting to crack, my dear girl.
