“Creighton was going to be his replacement. So they knew Neves was going to be outed by Gary Webb. So he, all of a sudden, after having told Creighton what he knew, resigned. And Creighton is now going to take his job. I never spoke to Creig…”

Those are the people that were in on one of the drug deals. The other four, I didn't know. The agent behind the desk, a tall man, got up and shook my hand. He introduced himself as Craig Creighton. This is a little awkward for us, he said. …

There was an undercover operation, more than four of them, that I was in danger of exposing, putting agents and families at risk. They couldn't give me any details, of course, but I needed to appreciate the seriousness of it. What's your an…

and their dealings with Ricky Ross. The agents looked at each other quickly out of the corner of their eyes, but said nothing. That whole Central America thing, Creighton said, I was down there. You heard all sorts of things. There were nev…

That's pretty well been established. Your informant was one of the men who was doing it. Creighton gave Jones a side look and said, I can tell you that I have never, ever heard anything about Blanton being involved in that. Not once. His on…

Put him on a witness stand, Jones yelled. You'd have to be insane. They'd have to be total idiots. They didn't put him on the witness stand, I reminded him. They yanked him at the last minute. That's because the judge ordered them to turn o…

The DEA had nixed Blanton's appearance because Rafael Correo's attorney had discovered the Contra connection and the government had been ordered to turn over the files. Creighton told me that it would be best for all concerned if I simply l…

Creighton finally said, I think we're going off topic here. Please understand, we're not telling you not to do your story, but your interest in Menendez primarily and his association with the U.S. government and the Contras, correct? Gary W…

If we got you that information, you could focus your story on him and less on Blanton, and maybe you wouldn't have to mention some other things. That all depends, Gary Webb said, on what that other information is. Creighton smiled and stood…

Could we ask you to please not print anything until we've talked again? Can you give me a week? I told him I'd wait for his call. When Gary returned to Sacramento, he phoned a former DEA agent, Castillo, the guy that was down in El Salvador…

He's one of the people in the DEA sent to Guatemala to do the internal investigation of me. He said Creighton and another DEA official had ordered him to put the word alleged in his reports to Washington about the Contra drug shipments from…

I told him of Creighton's remarks that there was no proof the Contras was involved in drugs. He laughed. Oh, that's bullshit. Of all people, he knows perfectly well what was going on. He was reading every one of my reports. He was reading t…

Gary was told he no longer works in the office. I was told that he was transferred to Washington, D.C. He was now head of the International Division. He was working there under Robert Neves, Norwin Menendez's old control officer, who had un…
