...puzzled that you should question whether the U.S. Government will accept "a onetime terrorist" as ambassador from Nicaragua. The Reagan Administration employs terrorists who regularly cross from Honduras to Nicaragua to try their hand at terrorism. Why should we object to having a former practitioner of the art as Nicaragua's ambassador...
Reagan plans to submit to Congress a package of legislative proposals. One would create a "blab" fund offering rewards of as much as $500,000 to informers who finger conspiring terrorists. Shultz is especially incensed at what he calls "state-sponsored terrorism," and has accused four nations of practicing it: Libya, Iran, Syria and North Korea.

To call this a crude attempt at innuendo would be a gross under-statement. Does this mean that anyone who wished to listen to an "unpopular" point of view on the Palestinian issue supports terrorism...
