A good story but old news. Many have written about this, over many years. Bill Clinton's behind the scenes involvement at Mena, Arkansas means he has been tight with the CIA for decades. Oliver North was in on it. Cocaine Importing Agency is an appropriate title.
On the same day the Monica Lewinsky story broke, the CIA formally admitted that what Gary Webb had discovered in his investigation was true.
Yet many americans are in denial about this. When everything the American people believe is false, we will know that our misinformation efforts have succeeded.

This. Conspiracies and conspiracy theories.
You can’t understand the logic of accepting the claims that have been proven but not accepting the claims that haven’t? The status of other conspiracy theories are irrelevant; any individual claim needs to stand up on its own merits.All proven conspiracies were once a conspiracy theory. Odd thing is that the anti-CT crowd wants to dismiss the theories while accepting the conspiracies. I never quite understood their twisted logic on that.

It’s also worth noting that a lot of conspiracy theories which are found to have some basis in truth are still surrounded by lots of misinformation, exaggeration and untruths, especially when multiple theories start getting combined or built upon each other. After all, there are plenty of conspiracy theories where different promoters push contradictory claims (like some 9/11 theorists saying the planes were remote controlled while others say there were no planes at all).

I object to all these entirely separate beliefs, accusations and ideas being lumped together at all. Some conspiracy theories (as presented by some proponents at least) are garbage because they’re garbage – based of false information (knowingly or not), flawed logic and partisan bias. Some of their opponents fall in to the same basket of course and it all gets dragged in to the mire.I would not disagree with this assertion. Just because some conspiracies, which at one time were just theories, turned out to be mostly correct does not mean all conspiracy theories are worthy of consideration. But, just because a CT was off on a few details when a conspiracy is finally revealed does not make the CT garbage either. And, that is where I take issue with the anti-CT crowd. They are in their denial no less nutty than the CTers are in their beliefs.
Drugs, guns and the CIA.
Guilty.
