This Is true, I just checked the movie Kill The Messenger which was basically the same story about a reporter outing the C.I.A. for pushing drugs in black communities to fund the illegal war. Basically what the C.I.A. did was discredit the reporter (when your sources are drug dealers, smugglers and dirty bankers They basically said they are not credible witnesses).The story ran for a little while, but the government made the whole shit seem like a fairytale. The reporter lost his job, then they killed him later down line. two bullets two the head and called It a suicide.Exactly, at minimum she should had an alias or something to protect her identity. Once the article cam out she should have known everyone was going to be looking for her ass.
