"It is terrible for me to read as I am reading his obituary and I am listening to people talking about him, that this is so frequently mentioned, when other things that this noble wonderful man did for our country are second and tertiary to the mentioning that he was involved in the Iran-Contra. When this is a man who fought against it, fought against the ideas, fought against going forward with some of the policy and indeed was unaware of many of the things that occurred that are now referred to as Iran-Contra."

- Marybel Batjer, who spent seven years working for Casper Weinberger at the Defense Department, who died this past week.
