Gary Webb, a journalist who made history, committed suicide four years ago this week. Webb made national news with his series reporting on the involvement of the CIA in the drug trade in California in the 1980s. Much of his reporting was based on and tied to the reporting of Robert Parry before him in the 1980s. Parry is one of the reporters who broke the Iran-Contra scandal. This article by Parry, about Webb, is a must-read story.
