- The special Senate committee investigating the fate of
- American mias has made little progress in its inquiry into those
- who prey on families of missing service personnel. Chairman
- John Kerry promised that the committee would probe possible
- fraud and corruption by entrepreneurs who collect huge sums from
- families but have yet to find a live MIA. One reason for the
- stalemate: ex-Congressman BILL HENDON, who collected tens of
- thousands of dollars as an MIA activist. Hendon, who should be
- a subject of the investigation, has been put on the committee
- staff by Senator Bob Smith of New Hampshire, the vice chairman.
- Says an insider: "How can we investigate Hendon when Hendon's
- on the staff?"
