read the story behind the picture, or do you condone the selling of cocaine for arms?

"The DEA and Justice Department had dismissed the claims of one of Kerry's star witnesses, accused cocaine trafficker Jorge Morales, that the CIA and Nicaraguan resistance forces were involved in large-scale drug trafficking -- an allegation that Kerry used in a widely publicized staff report.
Morales himself offered to recant what he told Kerry and say he fabricated much of his story. As part of his plea bargain, Morales was free to testify to Kerry's investigators, but the plea bargain also stated that he would be further penalized if he gave any false, misleading or incomplete information. Morales never testified to Kerry.
The senator had no sooner lost one of his star witnesses than the Washington Times revealed that Kerry had concealed evidence of Sandinista drug trafficking and had deleted information from his staff report of the previous October to pin the blame on the Sandinistas' U.S.-backed opponents. As with several news stories that discredited Kerry's investigations, the senator refused to speak to journalists seeking to question him.
"Law-enforcement officials and congressional sources said the witness incident was typical of interference in Justice Department investigations by Kerry staff," the Times reported."
WND
Before you dismiss WND, look not only at the leaning of the publication, but the undisputed facts backing up the article.
JFKerry was working full-time for the communists, and at the same time against the sitting President and the United States...I am not saying that the Contras were not selling drugs, but there is significantly more credibility to the charge that the Sandinistas were and Kerry was covering up that inconvenient truth.
