<< Gary Webb, just in case you've already forgotten him, was the journalist
who, in a well researched, understated article entitled "The Dark
Alliance," linked the CIA supported Contras to cocaine and weapons being
sold to a California street gang and ended up literally being hounded out
of journalism by every mainstream news peddling organization in the Yellow
Pages. Even his
own employer The San Jose Mercury piled on for the kill.
And guess what? The CIA finally admitted, yesterday, in the New York Times
no less, that they, in fact, did "work with" the Nicaraguan Contras while
they had information that they were involved in cocaine trafficking to the
United States. An action known to us court qualified experts and federal
agents as Conspiracy to Import and Distribute Cocaine—a federal felony
punishable by up to life in prison >>
Well I should hope so, especially the paper that fired him. Most of us don't
need to apologize, because we knew he was telling the truth, and that the CIA
was lying as usual. It seems that only the San Jose Mercury News believed
the CIA. There is, of course, the mystery of The New York Times and perhaps
The Washington Post as well taking a quick glance at what Gary Webb had
investigated for two years and declaring the CIA totally innocent. But then,
we know the New York Times is a Republican hack, and the Post may have fallen
from grace as well. Prudy
