Reagan testimony on his role in Iran Contra could aid both the defense of John Poindexter and the pursuit of justice.

Mandela release raises questions on South Africa’s future
Washington commentary argues that while Nelson Mandela’s freedom is a milestone for human rights, serious questions remain about Mandela and the ANC.

The piece urges reconsideration of sanctions, claiming repeal could accelerate reforms and black empowerment, while noting sanctions already hurt black progress and that not all blacks support sanctions.
