[Marxism] R.I.P. Gary Webb
Gary Webb took his own life yesterday at age 49:
<http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/10399525.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp>
Webb is the reporter who broke the story of the "Dark Alliance" between the
CIA and the Contras in Nicaragua, which led directly to a crack cocaine
epidemic in the United States.
<http://www.mega.nu:8080/ampp/webb.html>
Based primarily on the CIA "investigating itself" and pronouncing itself
innocent, Webb was thrown overboard by his paper, the San Jose Mercury News,
and his career as a journalist destroyed. There is no immediately known
"reason" for his suicide, but surely had he become a celebrated
investigative reporter, as he deserved to be, his life would have taken a
different path.
