Gary Stephen Webb August 31, 1955 – December 10, 2004 was an American investigative journalist. The Los Angeles Times and other major papers published articles suggesting the "Dark Alliance" claims were overstated. After an internal review, The Mercury News ultimately published a statement in May 1997 acknowledging shortcomings in the series' reporting and editing. Webb resigned from The Mercury News in December 1997. He became an investigator for the California State Legislature, publishing a book based on the "Dark Alliance" series in 1998, and doing freelance investigative reporting. The "Dark Alliance" series remains controversial. Critics view the series' claims as inaccurate or overstated, while supporters point to the results of a later CIA investigation as vindicating the series. Criticism has also been directed at the follow-up report in the Los Angeles Times and other papers for focusing on problems in the series rather than re-examining the earlier CIA-Contra claims. Webb was found dead in his Carmichael home on December 10, 2004, with two gunshot wounds to the head. His death was ruled a suicide by the Sacramento County coroner's office.

Resulting injuries is at present, and will be for the foreseeable future, virtually non-existent. The second working group, which will principally comprise psychiatrists and doctors, will study in greater detail the short and long-term effects, both for the individual and for society, of blindness &a compared with other injuries typically sustained on the battlefield. The information collected can then be used for a more thorough discussion of the legal and policy implications of the development of these weapons.

Report from: Association of National Security Alumni Electronic Surveillance Project I am a former US Intelligence Officer, trained at the National level. I am currently the Director of a Project which is focussed on the widespread involuntary human experimentation which is now ongoing in this country, involving the use of directed-energy weapons, surveillance and 'neurocybernetics' systems. The Department of Defense refers to these latter as 'psychotechnologies'. These operations, which are exceptionally brutal, qualify as attempts at 'mind control'.
