If we had Blackwater in charge of security on the Toll Road, I'd be leaving TJ at 4am like I used to, instead of sunrise!

5 State P.E.P. officers as bodyguards to the major of Tecate. |
Blackwater...............now, more than ever.
Those boys would get in there and kick some tweaker hiney.

Blackwater would be smart to open operations in countries around the world. Then entities like Rosarito could hire them without a perceived
interference from the U.S.

They might need more security. The attackers made a second attempt Wednesday- probably while Hugo was authoring his letter to the people of Rosarito.
And has Hugo Torres found his kidnapped assistant of 20 years yet? What happenned to that poor guy?
At least they aren't cutting off the heads of the policemen and rolling them on the beach this time like they did to the three unfortunate Rosarito
cops here last summer.

When in vietnam i made something like 230.00 a month and troops today get around 1500 ,not much more than tj cops |
I never understand this line of justification. You know what the job pays when you sign-up (US military, mexican police or any other job for that
matter). If you aren't willing to do the job at the price it pays- just don't apply.
In Vietnam we had the draft- not much choice about whether to take the job (unless you considered the option of fleeing to Canada). These people
intentionally take a job that requires additional theft while on-the-job in order to meet the basic living expenses? JMHO

Hi I'm writing a web story on this right now to go onto the Orange County Register website. If you live in OC can you call me and let me quote you
about your concerns about this? Or if you have any info, give me a call too! None of the wire services have covered it, so I'm elected. Marla phone
number 714-796-7994. Thanks!

speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. Henry David
Thoreau

Is there still a military presence around the police station today? Can anyone tell me?

Quote this.....
Mexico is in the throes of an insurgency and, seemingly, doesn't want to do anything about it. They refuse to pursue the insurgents. They gather
no intel and if they do, they don't act on it. Baja California should have been swept clean long ago using information gleaned from enemy combatants
by using techniques made famous in Mexico. They could even add water-boarding to their repartoire if they havn't done so already but intel that sits
on the desk is useless.
Mexico has a virulent cancer that she refuses to treat and this cancer will spread to her boundrys and beyond.
We have yet to see the worst of it.

As a resident and business person in Baja California Sur, I would appreciate if you differentiate between the two states. So far we do not have
these problems and I hate being lumped in with Baja California because of uneducated people....they need to know the difference. Most of our tourist
fly in and dont have to run the gauntlet through that area.

They hardly ever do. Maybe they need a Baja correspondent, one that is in Baja. Or they could tune in to our daily radio show and get all the news the
OC needs re. Baja California and Baja California Sur. 
A well informed Baja California traveler is a smart Baja California traveler!
