Dickens & Madson Canada, a Montreal-based firm, agreed to represent the junta in Washington via Israeli-Canadian lobbyist Ari Ben-Menashe.
Documents submitted by Ben-Menashe showed that the agreement was reached with the junta's defense minister, General Mya Tun Oo and that the government would pay the firm $2 million.

They got MAH's name wrong. I found bc I Googled "Ben Menashe and Than Shwe" as Shwe's photo was in previous article.
Even CNN used B-M to get access to Myanmar, which is where I first heard his name.
