Gary Webb found Dead.

[Lestat]

Apparently it was a suicide, despite being shot twice in the head.

Another criminal act committed by the CIA.

I heard about Gary Webb’s suicide a few days ago, a truly sad story. It seems that his fate was sealed eight years ago.

Marc Cooper has been covering his suicide in detail over the past few days. It appears that having been ostracized from the world of journalism, and unable to find work at a major newspaper had driven him into a state of despair.

There is no evidence of foul play.

I thought this was about gary webb aka gary david, a true psycho nutcase from about 20 years ago who was intent on harming others and himself. Ended up topping himself.

A salutory lesson for wannabee mothers. If you name your child Gary Webb, he'll end up topping himself.

the CIA are a law unto themselves, have been for years, murdered thousands of innocent people, Webb is another, this was no suicide , if you believe that you must have voted for the rodent and supported bush

Wasnt there a Gary Webb from Pentridge who broke out of the Spencer st lock up and they made a tele movie about him, and Im sure vinegar **** had a small role in it?

Different Gary Webb?

That was the bloke I mentioned earlier. His situation was an interesting case of civil liberties. He had a severe personality disorder which exhibited itself as self-mutilation and mutilation of others. On release he would have hurt others, of that there was no doubt. However he had done his time and was due for release. He couldn't be sectioned and put away in a mental hospital, because he wasn't actually ill. In the end the governement had to pass special legislation for him to be locked away. I thought he was a bit hard done by. While he should never be released, nor should he be forced to endure prison conditions after he had served his time, he should have been housed in a 'gilded cage'. Didn't last too much longer though until he smuggled a razor blade in and finished the issue once and for all.

Reminds me of Mark Chapman. Im certain his sentance is up and being a model prisoner hasn't helped him in his bid for freedom.. Nor Charles Manson.

You could never trust Manson, and Chapman I think couldn't trust the public.

Sigh.

How did we go from discussing the tragic demise of a very talented journalist, to totally irrelevant accusations relating to my political preferences?

Nevertheless, let me reassure you that your rather illogical accusations are incorrect. I most certainly did not vote for John Howard and do not support the current US administration. What relevance this has to the discussion at hand, I do not know.

Now, to the subject of Gary Webb...

There are a number of valid reasons why I view the conspiracy theories relating to Gary Webb with much cynicism:

a) As I mentioned in my earlier post, Gary had been unable to find work at a major newspaper for a rather long time.

b) Gary had been the victim of a concerted smear campaign, launched by the mainstream press, resulting in his reputation being all but ruined.

c) Multiple gun shot wound suicides whilst unusual, are not unheard of.

d) Lack of a plausible reason why the CIA would want Webb dead. He was no longer a threat to them; 8 years had passed since his expose.

e) His wife noted that Webb had been extremely depressed recently.

f) The conspiracy theories relating to Webbs death have been promoted by websites that make the Murdoch Press seem like a bastion of truth and journalistic integrity.

You see, the CIA didn’t need to kill Gary Webb, the mainstream media had already performed that task with aplomb.

Reminds me of Roger Rogerson, Roger was a police detective in inner sydney (for those who don't know) broke into his partners home, shot the partner several times, told the police he thought the partner was a thief and he got off that one at least
