Someone's finally talking about it

As I mentioned last week in the post about the SF Weekly column on Kerry, Bush and Iran-Contra; the media and the Kerry campaign haven't been talking much about Kerry's role in uncovering the Iran-Contra Scandal or his role in the investigation of drug trafficking and money laundering in Central America. Well, today Salon is running an article by an AP writer who first broke the story. It is very interesting and goes into a little more detail about Kerry, his staff and their involvement in uncovering the ties between the Contras, the drug cartels, the CIA and arms sales.

Here is the link, check it out:

Salon Story on Iran-Contra and Kerry

While you're surfing 'The Internets', check out this hilarious story on Slate. The writer dresses up as a Bush supporter and goes to the hip east side of Los Angeles (Silverlake, Los Feliz) as well as high-end, leftist Brentwood. He also dresses up as a Kerry supporter and goes to Bakersfield and Newport Beach to see how the conservatives react.
