Mexico's Interior Minister resigns
Today's LA Times is reporting that Mexico's Interior Minister has resigned and that Calderon will hold a press conference today to discuss his
resignation. Cant find the news item on line, though.
The Interior Minister is basically in charge of the war against the cartels.
This could be an interesting press conference. The guy resigns less than two years on the job?

So, Ferna, what happens to the outgoing guy, now? That man knows the complete gameplan against the cartels.
I would think the cartels would want him REALLY bad.

Seems to me that the cartels are designing the game plan.

I am not THAT much of a pessimist, Dennis.
Replacing entire police forces is a game plan. If Mexico can succeed in keeping police clean, the cartels' work will be immensely harder.
That's a big IF, right now.
Let's see what the new sheriff in town (the new Interior Minister) does..................

I hope for the best. I guess I'm so used to seeing the mess the US has gotten into that pessimism seems a logical reaction.
