Truth be damned
Just came across this story about Gary Webb, an award-winning American journalist and whistle-blower, who reported extensively on the CIA's involvement in Contra drug dealing in the U.S. Webb has apparently killed himself.
I don't know why people fail to question the never-ending 'death by suicide' of activists and truth-seekers - particularly well-known ones. Even if circumstances appear logical or understandable, there's a very real possibility of being helped along.
