Kill the Messenger

This movie is a MUST SEE. I remember when all this was going on. I used to listen to interviews with Gary Webb on WBAI in N.Y. This story is one reason why I could not bring myself to vote for John Kerry in 2004. This story is based on Gary Webb a reporter for the San Jose mercury who uncovered a connection between the CIA, the cocaine explosuion in this country... Reagan.. Clinton... North.. the violence that exploded in urban neighborhoods during the crack epidemic.. It puts the whole Iran Contra episode in a different light and as I said.. this film is a must see. It will be on HBO until September 12. I am actually surprised that tis film was even made.
