Gary Webb  

Définition(s)

  • Gary Webb was an investigative journalist who wrote a three-part series for the San Jose Mercury News in 1996 on connections between the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the U.S.-backed Contra army seeking to overthrow Nicaragua's leftist government, and cocaine trafficking into the United States. The series, which was placed online with a number of supporting documents when the Internet was still in its relative infancy, sparked a public and congressional furor that led to CIA and Department of Justice investigations of the newspaper's charges.
