Oliver North's journals about Iran-Contra are also a very interesting read, if you haven't read them.

Does he even discuss drug smuggling in them? I thouht he always denied that any of that was going on.

Yes, he does. To the best of my knowledge, there is no concrete evidence out there, showing the North was involved with the smuggling himself, but in his journals, he makes a reference showing that he knew it was happening at the time.

There have been some people who claim to have seen North partaking in these operations, but the problem is, the witnesses are convicted drug smugglers, who aren't always the most credible people. LoL.

North's journals were not declassified until the earily 1990's, I believe they were declassified in 1991. If these journals were made public during the Iran-Contra trials, the outcome and aftermath may have been different. Who knows for sure.

So in short, there is primary evidence showing that North was aware of the Contra drug-smuggling, but there is no credible evidence out there showing that North was directly part of these activities.
