I'm posting this primarily for fans of the late, once great, Hunter S. Thompson. I doubt the story will get much attention on the wire services, and some of them might be interested. I think his report on the story, and the atmosphere in which it took place, was one of his best.

quote:

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies committed a series of tactical blunders that led to the 1970 slaying of journalist Ruben Salazar, but there is no evidence they intentionally targeted the newsman or had him under surveillance, according to a draft report by a civilian watchdog agency.

The report by the Office of Independent Review, scheduled to be released at a news conference Tuesday, is the first outside examination of thousands of pages of Sheriff's Department records in a killing that has been clouded by suspicion, controversy and criticism for 40 years. A draft copy of the document was obtained by The Times.
