Interesting that the linked article (and Congresswoman Spier) failed to mention the “others” who died on that airstrip, along with Ryan. They included NBC news correspondent Don Harris; NBC videographer Bob Brown, San Francisco Examiner photographer Greg Robinson and a defecting member of the People’s Temple. In fact, I’m guessing the audio came from footage shot by Bob Brown before he was gunned down.
But Ryan’s death is the only one that apparently matters. And I’m guessing he invited the media to publicize his trip to Jonestown and raise his political profile. Unfortunately, most of the media contingent paid for that mistake with their lives.
You are knowledgeable. Did Ryan clear this with the State department?
Was the CIA aware of Jones in Guyanna?
