gary webb, who broke an amazing story about cia/contra/crack connections in the san jose mercury-news, has killed himself. the mercury-news eventually disowned the story. but the reporting was right. the only problem with it was slight -ver-generaliztion or a couple of too-strong assertions. the mercury-news and every damn news organization folded under republican/intelligence pressure. here's a piece i wrote afterwards, but couldn't get printed. i'll be updating this post with links throughout the day; i have to run.
