He Didn't Give at the Office
Defending the CIA officials who were embroiled in the Iran-contra affair is an expensive business (the ongoing trial of former senior spook Clair George will cost more than $1 million).

So far, former directors William Webster, Richard Helms, Stansfield Turner, William Colby and James Schlesinger have all chipped in. The exception: ex-CIA director GEORGE BUSH. While putting the bite on Bush would be crass, agency loyalists may reason that he just might be called upon to help Clair George with something money cannot buy: a pardon.
