"Calderón's assault has disrupted the cartels' business in the U.S. It's reflected in the rising price of cocaine, recently $123 a gram on America's streets, up 27% since early 2007, notes Michael Braun, managing director at Spectre Group International in Alexandria, Va. and recently retired chief of operations at the DEA."

The DEA are not good shoppers. He should have shopped on-line for cocaine at SDSU- it was only $38/gram there just six months ago...

"Many Mexicans believe the problem originates in the U.S., and that the cartels could be wiped out tomorrow if gringos wrestled seriously with the demand side of drugs. But the Mexican government realizes what it's up against at home. "The state is fighting against an opponent with no limits on arms or financial resources,""

Nothing you do about the drug war will impact the very bad guy leaving all the heads and body-messages around TJ- Mister Three Letters. He isn't involved in the narco trade- he preys on people's fear and on the love they have for their families through kidnappings and extortions.

While we're posting bad articles...

"Several federal officers arrested for alleged collaboration with drug cartels in a corruption investigation known as "Operation Clean House."

Now that's rich. The Police Chief stole mucho money from the mansion too.

... and those whacky Mexican policemen threatening to feed people to the lions- How do you get to the Mexico City coliseum for the gladiator show?

This place is doomed. Totally SOS. Stuck On Stupid.
