Reply #146: The San Jose Mercury ran articles on the story in the late 80s-the 1996

series was further vindication for a story from an earlier time. During the Iran/Contra hearings, these allegations were being made in the alternative media and nowhere else. The Reagan administration vehemently denied the allegations of contra drug trafficking and excoriated the San Jose Mercury over their articles. I read about it in articles published locally in the Metro Times, but that were originally written in the San Jose Mercury. And that was in the 80s.
