Book Reviews of Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion
Book Review: What is the CIA doing with OUR $30-Billion per Year?
Summary: 5 Stars
Answer: Not keeping an eye on who is threatening the United States with nuclear weapons (India, Pakistan). Instead, the CIA has been protecting its "assets;" drug smugglers who brought cocaine into America's backyards through Los Angeles street gangs; according to Gary Webb. Not all of the drug money was wasted, however. Some of it trickled down to the Contras ... Ronald Reagan's so-called Freedom Fighters. Read Dark Alliance and weep for America being torn apart by the CIA. By the way, Gary Webb's reward for exposing these crimes against Americans? His career as a journalist was destroyed. Moral: exercise your First Amendment rights by writing the unflattering truth about the CIA and lose your livlihood (if not your life).
