    Part of the solution needs to be eliminating the cancer within. Anyone care to bet as to whether these three will see hard time?

    Prosecutors in Mexico have formally charged three generals and a lieutenant-colonel with having links to a drug-trafficking gang.

    This ought to be interesting.

    In a stunning development, President-elect Enrique Pea and his Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), who won control of Mexicos government on July 1st, moved to dissolve the Agencia Federal de Investigacin (AFI). Modeled after the United States FBI, the AFI was founded in 2001 to crack down on Mexico’s pervasive government corruption and drug trafficking.
    Two days after the election, President-elect Pea came to the U.S. to announce that he would welcome debate on the issue of drug legalization and regulation in Mexico. In an interview by PBS News Hour, President-elect Pena clearly stated:

    I'm in favor of opening a new debate in the strategy in the way we fight drug trafficking. It is quite clear that after several years of this fight against drug trafficking, we have more drug consumption, drug use and drug trafficking. That means we are not moving in the right direction. Things are not working.

    These are code words to signal the PRI intends to cut a profitable deal with the cartels to legalize drugs in exchange for collecting tax revenue on drug sales.

    Former Mexican governor Mario Villanueva Madrid, who attended college in Jurez, pled guilty in a New York federal court of conspiring to launder $19 million in drug bribe payments he received from the Jurez drug cartel, officials said.

    Villanueva, 64, ex-governor of Quintana Roo, the highest-level Mexican official extradited to the United States, will be sentenced in October.

    (CNN) -- Unknown gunmen attacked an American diplomatic vehicle south of Mexico City, injuring three people, a Mexican military official told CNN Mexico.

    The motive behind the attack on the U.S. vehicle, which was on a diplomatic mission, was not immediately known.

    Gunmen inside what was described as a Mexican federal police vehicle fired upon a U.S. Embassy vehicle, said the official, who declined to be named for security reasons.

    The Mexican official said three Mexican marines were injured in the shooting. However, there were conflicting reports. Some Mexican reports stated that two of the injured were Americans.

    (Reuters) - Mexican federal police shot and wounded two CIA operatives last week, security sources said, in an apparently deliberate attack that could hurt U.S.-Mexico cooperation in their war against drug cartels.

    The ante just got upped.

    The war on drugs just got a whole lot more warlike. Two hundred U.S. Marines have entered Guatemala, on a mission to chase local operatives of the murderous Zeta drug cartel.

    The Marines are now encamped after having deployed to Guatemala earlier this month, and have just “kicked off” their share of Operation Martillo, or Hammer. That operation began earlier in January, and is much larger than just the Marine contingent and involves the Navy, Coast Guard, and federal agents working with the Guatemalans to block drug shipment routes.

    Narco version of celebrating diversity.

    Mexican drug cartels are turning to a new and lucrative source of income south of the border. Smuggling drugs is making up ever smaller percentage of their business.

    UTB Professor Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera is talking about the latest trend is stealing oil and other petroleum products. “They are diversifying to different activities such as extortion, kidnapping and very profitable business now is to steal oil and its derivatives including natural gas,”

    You'd think Cartel leaders would insist on better nicknames.

    MEXICO CITY — Mexico's U.S.-backed naval special forces have captured a man believed to be one of the two top leaders of the Gulf cartel, a drug-trafficking organization that once dominated the northeast border region but has recently engaged in devastating battles with the vicious Zeta paramilitary force, authorities said Tuesday.

    Mario Cardenas Guillen, alias El Gordo ("Fatso"), was paraded before reporters in Mexico City on Tuesday after his capture Monday in the northern border state of Tamaulipas.

    The most wanted men in Mexico are tumbling

    IN MARCH 2009 the Mexican government published a list of 37 men believed to be running drug gangs. The alleged bandits were named and rewards of up to 30m pesos ($2m) each were offered for their capture. The government’s normally stodgy official gazette listed the villains by their nicknames: Monkey, Beardy, Taliban and so on. It was a risky decision: the list could have become an embarrassment if its members had remained free.
