This article examines the suicide death of former San Jose Mercury News reporter Gary Webb on December 9, 2004. Webb was "a controversial figure in American journalism" (LOS ANGELES TIMES) who had "gained folk hero status among left-wing conspiracy theorists for writing scathingly about the CIA nine years ago." His death leaves "friends and loved ones trying to sort through tangled feelings about a man who was known not so much for the triumphs of a high-impact journalism career as for what he is accused of getting wrong."
