...next move may lie with the U.S. Congress. Last week, in an article in the Washington Post, Claiborne Pell, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, denounced Pakistan for "breaking its commitments and flouting U.S. laws."

His rationale was that Casey often had to testify before the congressional intelligence-oversight committees and Poindexter did not want him to have to lie. North, however, told the Iran- contra committees that Casey knew all about the diversion...
