In his book "Firewall: The Iran-Contra Conspiracy and Cover-Up" (1997), Mr. Walsh maintained that the architect of the coverup was Meese, abetted by Bush, White House Chief of Staff Donald T. Regan, CIA Director William J. Casey, Weinberger and other top administration officials.
"What set Iran-contra apart from previous political scandals," Mr. Walsh wrote, "was the fact that a cover-up engineered in the White House of one president and completed by his successor prevented the rule of law from being applied to the perpetrators of criminal activity of constitutional dimension."
