Gary Webb shot himself in the head twice and the CIA has been trying to take credit for his achievement ever since.
Gunshot wounds to the head are 42% survivable. According to the LA Times, his fist shot had entered near the right ear and exited through his face, while the second hit an artery.
Webb’s life was in shambles. Independent journalists investigators had criticized his reporting, specifically on the links between the cartels and the CIA. He was unemployed and his marriage was over
According to his ex-wife:
The way he was acting it would be hard for me to believe it was anything but suicide
Webb’s reporting on the “Dark Alliance” was almost a decade old when he died; discredited and forgotten.
So are we going to believe the official story that the CIA has a revenge squad that silences critics 10 years after the fact, or that Webb was a sad man with a bad aim?

Thanks for the context, CIA man.
