The True story of "Kill the Messenger"

few years before. The report showed that the CIA was very closely tied to illegal cocaine smuggling in 1985.

Webb started out skeptical, but eventually published a series called “Dark Alliance.” Then, Webb’s life fell apart. One by one, news agencies started to pick him apart, trying their best to discredit his story. Eventually, his own employer piled on, and pushed him out. Webb went on to kill himself in 2004.
