And I'd say, look, the minute I find you a Lutheran minister or a priest who was on the scene when they took delivery of 600 kilos of cocaine at an airbase in Contra land, I'll put them on the stand. But until then, you take what you can ge…

When Brian and I were doing these stories, we got our brains beat out. People from the administration were calling our editors, telling them we were crazy, that our sources were no good, that we didn't know what we were talking about. The J…

I've done some controversial stories before, but the editors have stood by them, and we'd won some significant awards. I felt good about the paper. One place you might try is the National Archives, Perry offered. They're in the process of d…

It's really important for us to put it in, if we can, in some sort of a narrative history of the CIA and what they can and cannot get away with and when. So are you suggesting they can't get away with something? No, I guess what I'm suggest…

I mean, I'm not going to front run the ending of this book, but, you know, look, Gary Webb, Robert Perry, Pete Bruton, Terry Reed, those guys are heroes. And when they get to heaven, there is a special seat for that. There's a specially res…
