Honey Continued from PaRe 1 Hut till' task hasn't twit an tMsy one. especially with tint i urrent administration's at tempt "to save fare " "Saving face is really what Mull. North and Rob Owen (an other key figure in the Iran Contra scandal) and a number of people involved in running illegally the war against Nil ara gua have Iteen involved in since 1985." Honey said This is seen in North's at tempts "to pin the blame of the activities on his superiors." Reagan's refusal to attend North's trail and President (leorge Hush's "ducking" of his involvement in Honduras and the Iran-Contra affair. Hon ey said It also was reflected in the poem written by Hull in his May 2(1. 1985 report to North that Ilonev read "Hail Mary, queen of grate. The Southern Front is a horri ble disgrace. Help us laird to c hange the pat e so lh.it we all may save face." wrote Hull, who was arrested by the Costa Kit an authorities on |au 12 on < barges that ini lode alleged drug traffic king The need to save face and "cover up the si undut" has made it iliffii ult for Honey and Avirgan to prove the full scope of the Set ret Team's involve ment in the "illegal war against Nii aragua."

Honey and the Christie Institute brought a civil suit against 20 defendants in May of IttHli, charging them with criminal conspiracy and other terrorist activities. These overt acts, taken in direct violation of the Neutrality Act. were con ducted t»y individuals in. or working for the U S govern merit, they allege Honey's involvement started in 1984 when her husband. AIM .' TV cameraman Tony Avirgan. covered a press confer ence at l-a Penca. Nicaragua in which eight people were killed and 28 others, including Avirgan. were wounded when a bomb exploded in the shack that was to l>e used for the con ference. The bomb. Honey said, was meant for Eden Pastora. a Nicaraguan rebel leader. He survived but others were not so fortunate. Honey said much of the investigation to find out who had done the bombing initially was done at her expense. In 1980, Honey and Avirgan teamed up with the Christie Institute, a Washington-based public interest law firm. Honey said the lawsuit was dismissed last June for what she called "largely political" reasons, but added. "We hope to have the r ase accepted before the appeals court in Atlanta, Georgia."
