Haig calls Watergate illegal and stupid in Senate hearing
Alexander Haig defended his White House service as he called Watergate illegal and stupid during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on his nomination as secretary of state. He insisted he did not participate in illegal acts and argued he inherited the consequences while working to keep the country steady. He opposed early troop withdrawals from South Korea but refused to publicly discuss China Taiwan issues, and said he had followed orders on wiretapping to stop leaks.
