412: Ellen Glasser – Iran-Contra Operation Front Door, Women FBI Leaders

Retired agent Ellen Glasser reviews the criminal investigation of the Iran-Contra Affair, the secret sale of U.S. arms to Iran and the illegal diversion of funds to Nicaraguan Contra rebels. The case was code-named "Operation Front Door." Ellen investigated and testified about the almost 6,000 messages that were deleted from John Poindexter's and Oliver North's computer files. Poindexter and North were convicted at trial but were later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush, who had been vice president at the time of the scandal. Dr. Ellen Glasser, Ed.D., studied female leadership in nontraditional occupations. She served in the FBI for 24 years.
