The CIA's misguided (i.e. criminal) involvement was driven by their need to help fund the Nicaraguan Contra rebels in their fight against their government's communist leanings. The fact that they did so by enabling the spread of crack use in America's largest cities was jaw-dropping in its ineptitude.
I remember taking my brother to see All The President's Men when it first came out and him shaking his head when we exited the theater saying "that was dull". Well Lawrence, my dear brother, Kill The Messenger bears a lot of that film's hallmarks, but it's definitely not dull.
