In addition to discriminatory sentencing for drug-related offenses, many African-Americans have gone as far as accusing the U.S. government of deliberately flooding their communities with drugs.[citation needed] It has been demonstrated that government officials, including the CIA and Reagan administration officials linked to the Iran-Contra scandal, were aware of drug trafficking by the Nicaraguan Contras, and collaborated with and protected Contra members who were known drug traffickers. In 1996, the San Jose Mercury News ran a series of articles by investigative journalist Gary Webb which linked the CIA-backed Contras to the origins of the crack epidemic,[6] although this was rejected by separate investigations by The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and The New York Times.[7]
