Well, when you wear the uniform of the United States you have this faith ... hope that the system will do it. Just like General Aaron said, "Let the system do the rest." Now comes truth... We were training Afghan freedom fighters in the deserts of South Nevada near where I live and I was proud to do so. In cooperation with the US State Department Office For Security Assistance. We finished that mission. A man by the name of Tom Harvey who is National Security Council Ollie North look-alike. Ollie comes from Annapolis, Harvey comes from West Point. Tom Harvey called me and said, "We have information ...", and here is a copy of the letter that's why I brought all these documents. I hope some of you challenge them. I hope the White House, the Pentagon would challenge them. Because if they would publicly they would have to admit to the truth. This letter was sent to Vice-President Bush by an American citizen by the name of Aurthur Soucheck, it is dated 29 August 1986. It says that General Khun Sa has American prisoners of war. It says that Khun Sa tried to rescue four of them. It says his forces escorted the four to the Mekong river. While attempting to cross the rain-swollen river, the four US personnel, three of Khun Sa's soldiers and two horses were swept away by the raging water and all drowned. It goes on to say that Khun Sa has repeated intelligence reports of location of US prisoners being kept in Laos ... that he says that has seventy prisoners of war. Tom Harvey said, "This is getting TOP priority." Now in G. Gordon Liddy's book, "Will", he says, "no American has ever come out of the Golden Triangle alive." But that's what we were being asked to do. Tom Harvey said, "Bo, do you think you would be able to infiltrate into Khun Sa's inner sanctum and determine if this report is true or not?" Do you think maybe somebody is trying to get me bumped off? (laughter) It didn't make any difference. Brothers and sisters, you and I are small compared to this nation and the risk that we take if there is one American there is worth it. God's will they'll be home while they're still alive. I told Harvey, "We didn't fight a war in Burma, why should there be prisoners of war there?" But you know a guy like Khun Sa has got connections all over. And I said, "We'll try." I speak Chinese. Khun Sa speaks Chinese. He's right along the southern China border. Surrounded by communists, he's fighting the communists. He has a forty-thousand man army. About eight-million Shan people that make up the minority Shan state. Burma is communist. Every one of his weapons are M16s and M60 machine guns. All the latest stuff that we have. I found out why later. Too make a long story short, we got in to see Khun Sa and he didn't have any prisoners of war. And let me caveat it by saying this. We traveled three days going and three days coming by horse over mountains that were literally vertical up and down. I made the comment at that time to Scott Weekly (sp?) who was Ollie North's classmate at Annapolis and went with me. I said, "I would hate to be an engineer that had to build a highway through these mountains because they're virgin teak forests ... rain forests .. tremendously beautiful." Six days coming and going. Khun Sa didn't have any prisoners of war. We gave Khun Sa the letter from the White House that I had. Thats the only thing that let me get in there. You don't walk in because the CIA has a seven digit figure on Khun Sa's head and they haven't been able to collect. You think they're gonna let somebody like me in there. Say, "Hi! I wanna go visit Khun Sa!" Doesn't work! But I guess they thought this guy is crazy enough because I gave this letter ... I told Harvey, "We got to have a credential, guy." He said, "We can't do that, Bo. We never do that." I said, "Harvey, has anyone ever gone to the Golden Triangle and come out alive? I need something that will convince Khun Sa were not there to kill him, we're there for humanitarian purposes." So Harvey said, "Well, this will be the language. 'You are operating in cooperation with the White House .. etc .. etc.'" It worked! Khun Sa didn't have one single prisoner of war, didn't know anything about prisoners of war. (switch to a scene with Bo and Khun Sa talking at Khun Sa's camp with Khun Sa's troops doing practice drills in the background. Bo is discussing the letter from Soucheck with Khun Sa. It is nearly impossible to decipher what is specifically being discussed because Khun Sa's troops are incredibly loud and drown out the conversation, so I will proceed to the next scene. Don't worry...there are more Khun Sa meetings to come. The long and short of it is Khun Sa says he will decrease or stop the drug shipments and Gritz gets it on videotape. Now back to Bo at the luncheon.) Now with Nancy Reagan saying no to drugs and Judge Ginsberg not allowed to sit on the supreme court because he smoked marijuana .. and you're an accessory to murder if you ever smoke marijuana, according to Nancy Reagan. I figured we'd get an 'attaboy'. We didn't have prisoners, but we had three video tapes showing Khun Sa himself. And I thought, "Boy, is George Bush gonna be thrilled about this!" (much laughter) We delivered those tapes to Tom Harvey just before Christmas. You try to call Tom Harvey now, because some news people did, and he doesn't return your calls. We delivered those tapes just before Christmas, Tom Harvey called me back and said, "Bo, Fantastic! You guys actually got in to see Khun Sa. The CIA said he had been assasinated." Somebody needed some pocket change. "And there he is talking." And I said, "That's right, Tom. Harvey, what about the 900 tons?" I figured they were just bubbling over. They were all right, they were dripping in their knickers. But it wasn't from joy. Harvey said, "Bo..", these are quotes ... hand on the square .. he said, "Bo, there's no interest here in that." You be on the other end of the phone. You've just come out of Burma. You've brought what you consider to be a way to stop 900 tons of heroin, not marijuana and get rid of the cancer that has infected the bureaucracy and there's "no interest." I challenged Harvey because I'm pretty hard-headed. I said, "Tom, didn't President Reagan appoint George Bush the number one cop to stop drugs before they come into the United States?" I wanted to remind him of these little things. And he said, "Bo, what can I tell you? There is NO INTEREST here in doing that." Now that is White-House-ese for saying, "Get off this subject, leave us alone." I knew that we had trod upon some very sensitive toes. I still didn't have a clue to what was going on, but I knew that we were getting close to finding out and I took off and went to Burma again.
