How John Kerry exposed the Contra-cocaine scandal salon.com Derided by the mainstream press and taking on Reagan at the height of his popularity, the freshman senator battled to reveal one of America's ugliest foreign policy secrets. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Robert Parry Oct. 25, 2004 \| In December 1985, when Brian Barger and I wrote a groundbreaking story for the Associated Press about Nicaraguan Contra rebels smuggling cocaine into the United States, one U.S. senator put his political career on the line to follow up our disturbing findings. His name was John Kerry. Yet, over the past year, even as Kerry's heroism as a young Navy officer in Vietnam has become a point of controversy, this act of political courage by a freshman senator has gone virtually unmentioned, even though -- or perhaps because -- it marked Kerry's first challenge to the Bush family. In early 1986, the 42-year-old Massachusetts Democrat stood almost alone in the U.S. Senate demanding answers about the emerging evidence that CIA-backed Contras were filling their coffers by collaborating with drug traffickers then flooding U.S. borders with cocaine from South America. - - - - - - - - - - - - That is enough for me BTW word is while GWB was AWOL he was, actually, really flying yep flying covert during Iran Contra Covering asses during Iran Contra just one more cover up to add to the list ever wonder where the billions came from to finance the dynasty? Ever researched BCCI?
