From the Paper:
"The first week of November, 1986, was possibly the worst week of Ronald Reagan's Presidency. It began on an upbeat note, on Monday, with the release of an American hostage by radical Shiites in Lebanon. But this hostage release failed to provide any "November surprise" for Reagan's and the Republican cause the next day: On Tuesday, November 4, the midterm congressional elections returned control of the Senate to the Democrats. Practically all of the Republican candidates for whom Reagan had personally campaigned were defeated. And, on that same day, an obscure Lebanese weekly newspaper, Al Shiraa, published a report which made a bizarre allegation: that the Reagan Administration, which had vowed never to negotiate with terrorists, had in fact sold arms to Iran in turn for the release of hostages (Johnson, 1991, pp. 295-96)..."More papers on Iran-Contra Scandal:
