North delivered a magnificent aria in which he described how the Palestinian terrorist Abu Nidal had targeted him for assassination. He told how Nidal's group had brutally murdered Natasha Simpson, 11, daughter of an American journalist...
Some of North's deceptions were neither humorous nor motivated by lofty concerns about saving anything but his own skin. He admitted taking "hundreds of pages" of papers and many of his spiral-bound notebooks out of secure NSC offices to his home in suburban Great Falls, Va. Noting that North had complained about the lack of security at his house, Liman asked why he would do this. Back came the up-front answer: "To protect myself...
