Frightening submitted by GJBarnett2 on July 20, 2015, 2:39pm The story of Gary Webb, the journalist who broke the story about the CIA running tons of cocaine into the US, fueling the drug epidemic, to raise funds to support the Nicaraguan Contras and who, according to the end-notes, was found dead in his apartment, shot twice in the head, and ruled a suicide.
Think about that second shot.
