Gary Webb

Gary Webb committed suicide on Dec 10. If his name sounds familiar, he's the journalist who wrote the series of articles in 1996 that exposed the Reagan-Bush administration’s protection of cocaine traffickers who operated under the cover of the Nicaraguan contra war in the 1980s. Read this piece to understand why we owe him a debt of gratitude and why there are so few real journalists left.
