I think knowing well just how corrupt the institutions in the US really are is important. The CIA has been involved in a lot of shaddy things before so this is a good reminder.

Some records revealed how Gary Webb was attacked by the CIA after exposing the cocaine smuggling connections it was involved in.

Of course they did. They character assassinate everyone with any power who stands against them, it's one of their go-to weapons. What a joke of an organization, so incredibly corrupt.

Why would the CIA do something like that ?
