为什么值得读
- 揭露情报机构涉足可卡因走私的政治内幕
- 剖析早期可卡因交易的运作机制
- 指出当局早期对该毒品危害性认识的不足
Gary Webb从CIA、DEA、FBI、洛杉矶县治安局数千页的昔日机密档案，以及近期解密的伊朗门事件调查文件中汲取素材。Webb与尼加拉瓜记者Georg Hodel一道，采访了Contra毒品网络的昔日前成员，以及前联邦检察官、CIA与DEA特工和前中美洲警界官员。本书揭示了洛杉矶快克古柯碱市场是如何在政府失职、贪欲与犯罪行为惊心动魄的交织下繁荣起来的。它还证明了美国政府各机构，

……康特拉（Contras），也就是因伊朗门事件闻名的中情局（CIA）资助的反政府武装。我很喜欢 Planet Money 这个节目，但我真希望他们能再深入挖一挖他跟康特拉反政府武装的牵扯。如果你想了解更多，可以去看看 Gary Webb 的系列报道《黑暗联盟》（Dark Alliance）。恢复后的网站在这儿：http://www.narconews.com/darkalliance/drugs/start.htm
…Contras, the CIA-funded army of Iran-Contra fame. I love Planet Money, but I wish they'd gone a little deeper into his involvement with the contras. If you want to know more look into Gary Webb's series, Dark Alliance. The restored site is here: http://www.narconews.com/darkalliance/drugs/start.htm

如果有人对可卡因交易的运作链路感兴趣，我推荐《黑暗联盟》（Dark Alliance）这本书 [1]。书中指出，可卡因最初在美国出现时，并没有被认为有多危险或容易上瘾，官方也没把它当作严重威胁来应对（当时主要针对的是天使粉 PCP……
If anyone is interested in the logistics of the cocaine trade I recommend the Dark Alliance book [1]. The book argues that when cocaine first appeared in the US it was not considered so dangerous or addictive and the authorities did not respond to it as a serious threat (at the time it was PCP…

……在上世纪 90 年代，随后他的职业生涯遭到了报复性摧毁。Webb 的完整故事其实比这更复杂；事实上，它复杂到都被编进了新闻伦理课的教材里。Webb 的《黑暗联盟》（Dark Alliance）报道固然重大，但他做这篇报道时有点用力过猛、过于狂热了。当时的主流媒体——包括《纽约时报》、《华盛顿邮报》和《洛杉矶时报》——一致把这篇报道喷得体无完肤……
…of the 1990s, and then had his career destroyed in retaliation. The full Webb story is more complex than that; in fact, it's complicated enough that it's taught in journalism ethics courses. Webb's "Dark Alliance" story was important, but Webb prosecuted the story overzealously. The major news outlets of the time --- including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the LA Times --- unanimously tore the piece…
……必读。[3] 对后续事件进行了极其详尽的报道。Giordano 对 Webb 自杀仅一个月后的追悼会回顾以及某种程度的悼词尤为感人 [4]。1. 《黑暗联盟》（The Dark Alliance）(http://www.mega.nu/ampp/webb.html) 2. 《圣何塞水星报》（San Jose Mercury News）(https://longform.org/archive/publications/san-jose-mercury-n...) 3. 《深入黑暗联盟：Gary Webb 谈 CIA、康特拉反政府武装与……
…read. [3] provides exhaustive coverage of the aftermath. Giordano's recount of Webb's memorial service just a month after the latter's suicide and his eulogy of sorts is especially moving [4]. 1.
