Taking Mexico Off My Vacation Destination List: "They hardly ever do police work; they are working full-time for narcos."
This is his real home for almost twenty years, a second Mexico that does not exist officially and that coexists seamlessly with the government.In his many transports of human beings to bondage, torture, and death, he is never interfered with by the authorities. He is part of the government, the state policeman with eight men under his command. But his key employer is the organization, which he assumes is the Juárez cartel, but he never asks since questions can be fatal. They give him a salary, a house, a car. And standing. -- "The sicario: A Juárez hit man speaks" by Charles Bowden

The article sickens. What possible reason could you have for linking to it? Do you think we need to be better informed? How obtuse do you think we are? Was it being offered up as entertainment? Do you think we are that degenerate?
I think you are a good man, Mr. Vanderleun; I hope that this is just a temporary lapse in judgment.

A powerful and disturbing article. Should be read by anyone who thinks our southern border is "secure".
