13. Kerry's gone after the BFEE since he became a Navy officer.
The guy is committed to doing good with his life.

John Kerry went to do the country's work in Vietnam as an officer in the US Navy. He discovered the reality of the war did not match the politcal rhetoric used to justify it before the American people at home. That knowledge did not deter him from doing his duty. Kerry came home a war hero, resigned his commission, and was enlisted in the anti-war movement, where he earned the enmity of Richard Nixon and his toadies.

Years later, after serving as a Massachusetts state prosecuting attorney — where he went after the Mafia, the CIA's henchmen in many matters domestic and foreign — Kerry took up the cause of going after the BFEE at the highest levels of government. He did investigate CIA drug running, the Iran-contra affair and its ties to the corrupt BCCI bank, which ties to ENRON, Selection 2000 and 9-11.

Here's a "fer instance":

… During the Reagan/Daddy Bush Administrations, Wendy Gramm was for twelve years head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, regulating the commodity industry. As pointed out earlier in this series, she was reportedly the recipient of bribes along with her husband who has decided not to run for re-election as U.S. Senator (R., Texas), Phil Gramm. While leaving office she pushed through regulations freeing Enron from supervision.

She also reportedly covered up the bribery, by the infamous bank, BCCI, of 28 members of the U.S. Senate and 108 members of the House of Representatives.

As part of the apparent Enron cover up, Wendy was a Board Member AND on the inner auditing committee. She reportedly helped cover up the massive money laundering by Enron/Marc Rich International through the Chicago markets and major money center banks.
