-Caveat Lector-
I recently heard from Donna Warren, who was the lead plaintiff on the Crack
the CIA Coalition
class action lawsuit against the CIA over the agency's complicity in the
distribution of crack
cocaine in the US -- based on uncontested disclosures in Gary Webb's book
and CIA
admissions in the two columes of the IG report. That suit, developed
jointly with folks in
Oakland, eventually got consolidated with a bunch of other
less-well-founded wannabe suits
filed in several other jurisdictions, got moved down to a distinctly
unfriendly judge in FL,
and seemed to be dead. It may perhaps have been either withdrawn or
dismissed without
prejudice because of the clear set-up against it and the lack of
institutional support.
Perhaps others on these lists can give a more accurate account.
Anyway, Donna Warren informs me that she received a letter from CIA, as a
named
plaintiff on the class action suit. She says:
"Three months ago, the CIA sent letters out to all who filed tort claims.
The letter said we have 6 months from the date of receipt to file an action.
So I believe we can still resurrect the case."
The clock is ticking on this. I know many people have focused in during the
past year
on CIA's guilty knowledge of 9-11, and its role in the current global
repression under
the "war on terror" rubric, both within and outside US borders.
However, the atrocities of the crack epidemic that can be laid at CIA's
doorstep
remain one of its great crimes against humanities and vulnerabilities. The more
recent disclosures of the agency's role in the resurrection of the heroin
crop in
Afghanistan only serve to make the immediacy of the issue of the agency's role
in the drug trade more pressing, not less so.
Does anyone on these lists have a handle on how to pursue the possibility of
refiling or re-instating the class action lawsuit, as originally founded on
the
government's own admissions and documentation, within the approximately
2-month time frame the CIA has left us? Surely, there would be some media
play available to such a case, hearkening back to the crimes and admissions
of both Bush I and the the Clinton-Gore administrations, on the eve of the up-
coming Congressional elections.
Email me, preferably off-list and let's talk about having a meeting ASAP if you
are interested.
