I googled cia operatives and crack addiction. The resources and links found were on par with "chemtrail" sites, "fake moon landing" publications, etc. Not that there is anything wrong with someone believing incredible things. Afterall, i believe in an invisible God who created the universe, so who am i to judge.

CIA addicting folks to crack is a little out there for me, though.

Baltimore has been doing this to itself for a long time, and it goes beyond the black community, even though their voting hasn't been ideal. (look at their last couple of mayors) there are plenty of whites "kept down by the man" too in that city. Changing the drug laws doesn't bring in more businesses and jobs. bringing in jobs doesn't remove the apathy and semi-hatred towards jobs (working for the man). Better schools don't fix the home life. Having a dad out of jail doesn't fix the home life either if he has no job no respect for education or society/government. That city has given up on itself. There are certain neighborhoods that have rejected votes to bring money and jobs in. they constantly vote against investors moving in, and even government agencies designed to help them, basically if you aren't giving them free stuff they aren't interested in working with you. (blacks and whites in that city)

Careful, LV. You're treading dangerously close to values, personal responsibility, and social decay which is a death sentence in politics.

I was curious about this claim as well, and this is ultimately what I came up with...

But in the weeks following publication, Webb's peers doubted the merit of the articles. Fellow journalists at the Washington Post, New York Times and Webb's own editor accused him of blowing a few truths up into a massive conspiracy.

Amongst Webb's fundamental problems was his implication that the CIA lit the crack cocaine fuse. It was conspiracy theory: a neat presentation of reality that simply didn't jibe with real life. Webb later agreed in an interview that there is no hard evidence that the CIA as an institution or any of its agent-employees carried out or profited from drug trafficking.

Still, the fantastic story of the CIA injecting crack into ghettos had taken hold. In response to the public outcry following Webb's allegations--which were ultimately published in book form under the title Dark Alliance--the CIA conducted an internal investigation of its role in Central America related to the drug trade. Frederick Hitz, as the CIA Inspector General-- an independent watchdog approved by Congress--conducted the investigation. In October 1998, the CIA released a declassified version of Hitz's two-volume report.

The IG's report cleared the CIA of complicity with the inner-city crack cocaine trade. It refuted charges that CIA officials knew that their Nicaraguan allies were dealing drugs.

Just watched a protester dance around and bare his naked ass to police on live TV.

The look on Brooke Baldwin's face in studio was priceless.

Don't trust the CIA. Ever. Just ask George W. Bush.

Here are some important excerpts:

But the article quoted the chief investigator for Senator Kerry's subcommittee investigation, Jack Blum, as saying that, while the CIA did not have agents selling drugs to fund the Contras, the United States government may have opened channels that helped drug dealers bring drugs into the United States and protected them from law enforcement.

The drug ring we wrote about inflicted terrible damage on inner-city Los Angeles, and that horror was indeed spread to many other places by L.A. gangs.

It confirms the suspicion that government agents were involved. Clearly, when you're talking about drug dealers meeting with CIA agents it does go a long way toward validating this suspicion. There's a grain of truth to any conspiracy theory and it turns out there are a lot of grains of truth to this one. If you want to stretch it to its logical conclusion, the government was involved in starting the crack epidemic, because it was this pipeline that did it. Now we know what we didn't know in the '80's -- which is where they were selling the stuff. We were able to close the circle and show how this affected American citizens, whereas before it was some sort of nebulous foreign policy story. Now we can see the damage. Whether or not these guys were part of our government or just contract agents is unclear.

Must have. I'm still trying to figure out how arresting someone for grand theft disenfranchises them. I haven't even been able to process the CIA part yet.

When you are a convicted felon you lose the right to vote. Should not be over your head.

Boy, the riot crowd is up bright and early today. They typically don't come out till night, once they've woken up.

Riot police, tear gas, pepper spray, rock slinging, fires, smoke screens (didn't see that in Ferguson), injured police, armored vehicles, talk of a "purge" all before dawn. Impressive.

@BaltimorePolice: The group remains at Gwynns Falls & Reisterstown Rd. Several officers have been injured. The crowd is not obeying our dispersal orders

The white house correspondence dinner is a joke. Can't believe journalists act so chummy with POTUS when he's squashing the notion of a free press.

in an era when the White House sees fit to intimidate correspondents, search correspondents’ personal emails, and rip up correspondents’ FOIA requests, those same correspondents still treasure the opportunity to lounge with the president in a lavish ballroom, sipping cocktails and cracking wise
