What Is Special Agent Steven Carr : A Letter To Write A Act?

This paper will discuss how the CIA and/or the American government played a role in the death of investigative journalist, Gary Webb. Whether it is a conspiracy or not many question how the investigative journalist died and why his death was ruled as a suicide. Gary Webb was most known for tracking down corruption and exposing it to millions of Americans. He wrote stories about corruption from county, state, and federal levels, for more than thirty four years. He is most known for writing an article titled "Dark Alliance", which “linked the CIA to the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles during the Iran-Contra scandal. He found that drug dealers were smuggling cocaine into the United States and the CIA was using the money to arm Nicaraguan rebels.” (Webb, G. 1998) Webb is also known for writing his last article, written for the Sacramento News titled "The Killing Game”. The article exposes “the

like the CIA anyway and said that he would "tear it [CIA] to a thousand shreds". The CIA saw him

This report from the investigation by the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) concerned allegations of wrongdoing and improper practices within certain sections of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Laboratory. Those allegations involved some of the most significant prosecutions in the recent history of the Department of Justice, including the World Trade Center bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the mail bomb assassination of U.S. Circuit Judge Robert Vance (which was referred to within the FBI as the VANPAC case). The allegations implicated fundamental aspects of law enforcement: the reliability of the procedures employed by the FBI Laboratory to analyze evidence, the integrity of the persons engaging in

Ranking first in my class, publishing a note on law review, and the numerous other academic accolades in my resume demonstrate my intellectual, analytical, and functional capacity and qualifications for a position with the CIA. My respect and appreciation for what it means to be a public servant as well as my integrity, however, are what distinguishes me from the plethora of qualified candidates that are undoubtedly applying for this position. The gravity of my experiences ranging from the consideration of compassionate release motions with the Bureau of Prisons to intimate discussions with litigants at the military commissions in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, amongst many other experiences, have sculpted the ethical standards I bind myself

I decided to write a letter to the Attorney General of Georgia, Chris Carr, discussing what the oppression of women is like and backing it up with evidence on difference of wages, rape statistics and the daily reports of harassment on women in Georgia alone. I introduced the article by Marilyn Frye and quoted her analogy of the birdcage. I told Carr that the government and society should not just look at one issue toward women but many that happen at the same time.

He used his position as a member in the Ways and Means committee as his primary resource to bribe U.S. companies that worked on oil, communications, and sugar, including others to fund for ‘projects’ in Africa. In return he promised to promote the companies, which would ultimately increase their profits. The FBI began to look at William J. Jefferson in 2005 when they had received information that he was using his position in the House to solicit bribes from U.S. companies to Africa. It is calculated that Jefferson had earned approximately $400,000 to $500,000. In one case the FBI had footage of Jefferson receiving $100,000 to pay off an African government official from a cooperative witness. As a result, within days the FBI had a search warrant for Jefferson’s home. Upon searching they found $90,000 in his freezer which were wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in a dessert box. When searching his office, they were able to obtain documents that were served later used as evidence for his bribery schemes. Through the use of witnesses that were cooperative, phone recordings, video surveillance monitoring, and financial records analysis form the FBI enough evidence was compiled to charge William J. Jefferson for bribery, racketeering ( fraudulent business earnings ), and money

During the days of the Hollywood Red Scare, Reagan actively partook in the politics of the film industry. One to be at the forefront of progress, he held the title of chairman within the Screen Actors Guild. In 1947, he was a sort of snitch for the FBI and transferred the names of possible leads for Communist members or sympathizers. Since this cooperation, the FBI took an interest in Reagan’s career and personal safety.

Named by Calvin Coolidge as the sixth director of the Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover quickly rose to greatness. In 1935, he was appointed by U. S. Attorney General Stone as the first director of the newly conceived F.B.I. For the next 36 years he made all of the rules, declared war on everything he disliked or that opposed his morals and personal beliefs from “Bolshevik radicals” to Martin Luther King, he hindered the progress of the civil rights movement, and used force to eradicate every suspected communist. While he brought about myriad investigative technology, including fingerprints, wire-tapping, and forensics labs that forever changed the criminal justice system, he also used the F.B.I. to intimidate celebrities and public figures, harass political activists, and illegally collect secret files of evidence and scandals against everyone. In truth, Hoover was a malicious and hypocritical man; under the guise of protecting the “American way,” his motto was “knowledge is power,” but after the Great Depression when the world changed, he didn’t

“A Review of the FBI’s Use of National Security Letters” by the Office of the Inspector General.

In the documentary, High Crimes and Misdemeanor (1990) produced by frontline, details the side effects from the Iran-Contra affair proposed by the Reagan Administration and the consequences of the Reagan administration for not complying with its constitutional authority on notifying the United States Congress on the covert operation, which is the main organ responsible for the appropriations of funds and its allocation. The Covert Operation facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was under a strict arms embargo during the hostage situation in 1979.

On September 17th, 1984 President Reagan signed into law a national security decision directive, NSDD-145, titled “National Policy on Telecommunications and Automated Information System Security”. Even at that time, the government officials understood that computers were susceptible to interception, unauthorized electronic access, and related form of technical espionage and exploitation. It was noted, that hostile agencies were “extensively” hacking into computers, and that terrorist groups and criminal enterprises had the ability to do the same. The original language in the directive placed the National Security Agency (NSA) in charge of the security of all computers and networks, and, for many civil liberations in Congress that went too far. The directive also created a national Telecommunication and Information Systems Manager “to consider all technical matters” as well as develop procedures for implementing the policy. The NSA director was to become that Manager.

On June 17, 1972, five burglars broke into the Democratic Watergate facility in Washington D.C. Quickly, it went south for the criminals, as police arrived at the building and arrested them. Surprisingly enough, it turns out most of them were CIA agents. Of course, this action aroused quite a lot of suspicion, especially in the office of the Washington Post. In the end, America’s President and many of the White House’s employees resigned, were fired, or were arrested. Watergate was truly an earth shattering event that rocked America’s government.

How did Gary Webb get the initial tip about what was going on with the CIA and the Contras?

intelligence was secretly arming the Nicaraguan rebels, in violation of a Congressional vote (the Boland Amendment). The physical evidence from the Iran-Contra scandal became undeniable when a plane carrying supplies for the Contras was shot down on October 5, 1986 in Nicaragua. First of all, the pilot, Eugene Hasenfus, told the press that he was working for the CIA and had been involved in missions with them as far back as 1965. Secondly, Hasenfus had been flying a plane that was registered to Alder Berriman Seal, aka Barry Seal, one of the most experienced drug smuggling pilots of all time. Seal had smuggled roughly $3 to $5 billion worth of illegal drugs into America, according to estimates by the federal government. Seal had also performed various functions for the CIA and DEA at different times. Finally, Hasenfus’s notebook featured a phone number that was a direct line to George Bush’s office.

Using fake mailboxes and drop sites to secure his information safely to his meetings. The FBI searched his house with the warrant finding personal information about meetings and future events that will take place against the CIA. Arrested for espionage him and his wife where they were held without any bond. Being one of the most popular cases in the history because Ames collected money by the giving away CIA classified secrets and not being able to be traced nor caught since the 70’s once he started trading secrets. He remained undetected for so long that mistakes like this should never have been going for such a period which makes you think about how the most intelligent agency in the world let this happen. Something has happened before to where terrorist has destroyed people lives on our own soil just like September 11 and how they mysteriously got on the plane. For someone that’s holds the key on the inside to have knowledge of so much information to where a mole was hidden right in the CIA going undetected for over 9
