#1 a gun battle in southern Chihuahua between Mexican security forces and a criminal group that is being backed by local civilians in the area.

Sounds like a civil war to me. Mexico's internal problems are our border and violent criminal problems.

Meanwhile, the lawsuit where the Feds have sued Arizona over enforcement of illegal immigration laws (because the Feds won't) continues.

#2 I see where Drudge is reporting that ATF Senior Agent Dodson claims he was instructed to allow guns to be purchased in the U.S. and transported into Mexico. He said thought he was supposed to prevent gun running. ATF bosses claim this never happened. Senior Agent Dodson says it did. Dodson says violence increased with increased gun running. Dodson says it was cleared all the way to the top. He says he was instructed to use a "gun walking strategy." That allow the guns to be bought with the idea of following them with the idea of taking down a cartel and gun suppliers. Mexico was not "clued in" according to the agent. A sting operation that got exposed?
