| #2 I recall sitting in a park in San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur, while local cops dragged 2 gamberos - or whatever - into the local cop-shop. Repeated thuds and screams followed. That's "due process" frijole style. |

| #1 The Mexican Army and Mexican Marines at the moment are the only institutions capable of reliable direct action against drug criminals. In nearly ever instance the Mexican military gets it right, and it appears from the news reports I have read to date they get it right 99 percent of the time. What Mexico has is a professional military currently unfairly being maligned for a few mistakes, mistakes made not because of policy at any government level, but because of the human element. You do good work, badanov. This is why the stock price of New York Times, et al keeps dropping -- the cutting edge reporting is being done out here in the blogs. |
