Kill the Messenger Quote
Gary Webb: My angle is that the American government knew drugs were put on the streets to fund an illegal war.
DEA Agent Miller: What you want to say happened, never happened.
Gary Webb: Then why am I here?
DEA Agent Miller: American kids were going to die in that war.
Gary Webb: American kids *did* die. They're still dying. Just not the ones you care about, apparently.
Anonymous Agent: [from the back of the room]We'd never threaten your children, Mr. Webb.
Gary Webb: [suddenly standing]My children? What did you say? I'm writing the story... [walks out]
