what a great write-up. keep it handy.

When Kerry did such a lousy job looking into the MIAs, we know his cousin made out big time with contracts, but wasn't B & E Cameron also involved with that?

I just reviewed my files, and didn't notice anything I found directly linking Cameron or his law firm to that. Of course that does not rule out an indirect link. I do remember the part about Kerry's cousin. Here's what I came up with on that when I was writing the previous article in the series:

Part 4: Subversion in the Senate: Kerry's Communist Constituency

Meanwhile as Kerry's committee was finalizing its report in late 1992, in anticipation of normalization of US-Vietnamese relations, a $905 million port development deal was signed between Vietnam and a Boston-based company which had been awarded a contract to be the exclusive real estate agent representing Vietnam, Colliers International. Colliers International was headed by former Boston Redevelopment Authority executive C. Stewart Forbes, cousin of John Forbes Kerry. A Colliers partner, Spauding and Slye Colliers, donated $100,000 to pay for holding the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Kerry's hometown of Boston.43
