The CIA has been accused of being involved in drug dealing and manipulation of news in the past. I think we should remember how Gary Webb took risks to share that info with us.

The CIA worked with many newspapers in order to destroy Gary Webbm the journalists who exposed their cocaine smuggling connections.
