I was watching the film IN THE LINE OF FIRE the other day.

It is ironic because clint Eastwood's Character (Secret Service agent) pursues a former CIA Assassin out to kill the President of the United States. in the 1993 film (Three years before Gary wEBB'S dARK aLLIANCE CAME OUT)

Upon Finding out that the assassin is ex CIA, Frank Horrigan (Eastwood) asks: What did he do, sell Cocaine for the contras?

AND

In the 1994 Tom Clancy film CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109444/

Jack Ryan catches the government striking a deal with the cartel!

This was years before Gary Webb wrote his article.

Maybe it's time to sell DVDS and have viewing parties across the country Wella Nov 2014 #15

That maybe the only way to inform the people of the unbelievable corruption, some of it documented sabrina 1 Nov 2014 #17

I know. We have no idea, sometimes, what is being done in our name. Wella Nov 2014 #18

I agree and it is happening to an extent now that people have other sources to communicate sabrina 1 Nov 2014 #21
