North's convictions were overturned. He never served time. I have a signed copy of his book. I think he only did what he was ordered to do, and I don't even know what he actually did in reality, as I wasn't paying attention to that stuff when it happened.
Hezbollah took Americans hostage and kept them in Lebanon. Reagan ordered North to sell Iran missiles in exchange for giving us our hostages back (hence the Arms for Hostages moniker). Then Iran took more Americans. That's actually where the "we don't negotiate with terrorists" came from.
We took the profits from the missile sales and gave it to the Contras, who were fighting the Sandanistas (govt in Nicaragua) - who were socialists. This is why the MSM called the whole scandal "Iran Contra".
