Barry Seal...drug smuggler, gun runner, CIA asset. From the Preface to the book:
It is the central thesis of this book that following Barry Seal's lifelong government career in 'clandestine services' leads in a straight line from the killing of a President -- Seal's CIA handler Dave Dixon was a 'great good friend' of the only man ever charged with conspiracy to murder President Kennedy, Clay Shaw -- to the ruin of the inner cities of this country by the cocaine epidemic of the 1980's, an epidemic fueled in no small part by the billions of dollars worth of cocaine which Barry Seal's operation imported. (emphasis added)
It's all the same secret, according to one individual interviewed by Hopsicker: Drug smuggling in Mena Arkansas, Whitewater, Watergate, Kennedy Assassination, Iran Contra...
I guess Hopsicker didn't get suicided because his book is not widely distributed, due probably to its cost ($45.00 paperback).
Webb's "Dark Alliance" is next on my list to read.
ETA> No, Gary Webb wasn't "crazy". I wonder why people would say that?
