Poindexter (yeah, that weasel from the Iran-Contra scandal) finally resigned after increasing pressure from law makers in Washington who couldn't take his stink anymore. Poindexter appointment as head of the Pentagon's Office of Information Awareness was considered by many to be a major comeback for him.
"Poindexter was convicted in 1990 on five felony counts, including lying to Congress, destroying documents and obstructing congressional inquiries into the affair. Although the conviction was overturned in 1991 -- on grounds that Poindexter had been granted immunity from prosecution as a result of his testimony before Congress -- it still troubled many in Congress."
Poindexter is the kind of guy who scares me because I know what he thinks... [":)] I wouldn't trust the little fellow as far as I could throw him. A funny incident happened earlier this year when hacktivists, eager to make a point, hacked his personal info (residential address, personal net worth, value of house, etc.) and published it on the internet, giving him a little of his own medicine. Here's the link.
