Crack and the CIA

Margot Adler reports that although most of the mainstream media has been debunking the story, a controversial account of the introduction of crack into the streets of Los Angeles... and its connection to the CIA and the war in Nicaragua... has been fueling black talk-radio shows for the past two months. Discussion is particularly strong on this topic on the Internet. It has led to demonstrations, a hunger strike, and even a Senate hearing.
