Gary Webb

Gary Webb was a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. In 1996, his "Dark Alliance" series in the San Jose Mercury News linking the CIA, the contras and drug trafficking in South Central Los Angeles created a national sensation. He was immediately attacked by major media. His own paper criticized and demoted him. He soon left the Mercury News. His book, Dark Alliance, is published by Seven Stories Press. The CIA's own Hitz report in 1998 largely corroborated Webb's allegations. He took his life on December 10, 2004. He was 49.
