    Things get nastier in Mexico...

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8417531.stm

    One of Mexico's most-wanted drug lords has been killed in a shoot-out with state security forces.

    Arturo Beltran Leyva and four alleged members of his cartel died in a raid by troops on a flat in Cuernavaca, just south of Mexico City.

    Meanwhile, the severed heads of six policemen were found near a church in the north of the country, police said.

    They said the beheadings in Durango state were a revenge attack by the Gulf cartel for the killing of 10 gang members last week....

    Things are worse than I thought down there, apparently.

    Now if this happened in Kerry, they'd be mourning the passing of a gentle people-loving kind soul.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Ya gotta admire the old style head on a pike though. Now they should catpault the heads to the enemy lines to instill fear in their hearts.

    Didn't know there were any drugs left in Mexico after Lil Wayne was sent in.

    Do you reckon the wife or partner of a drug lord is called a drug lady? It's something I've often wondered.

    Back in 2008 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/09/world/americas/09mexico.html
    The number of gangland killings reached 5,376 from the beginning of the year until Dec. 2, a 117 percent increase over the 2,477 killings in the same period in 2007, Mr. Medina-Mora said in a luncheon meeting with foreign correspondents.

    The bulk of the killings have occurred in the border states of Chihuahua and Baja California, where traffickers have sought to wipe out rivals on the streets of Juárez and Tijuana, and in Sinaloa, where one of the country’s most powerful cartels has its base.
    ....

    Taking on the cartels that supply most of the illegal drugs consumed in the United States has been a frustrating exercise for Mexico. Officials complain that the guns the criminals use are coming from the United States and that the billions of dollars in drug profits have corrupted many institutions in Mexico.

    The attorney general’s office itself recently found that numerous officials in its organized crime unit were working for traffickers, receiving cash payments to tip off the cartels about impending raids.
