Mexican authorities have been holding 35 officials since July for selling intelligence to drug cartels, for payments of up to 400,000 dollars, the federal prosecutor revealed on Monday.
“Thirty-five public officials have been pulled out of the SIEDO (elite anti-organized crime unit) as well as other support staff. The process of the cleaning up and revision of staff and proceedings will continue in a permanent manner,” Eduardo Medina Mora told a news conference.
The investigation into the SIEDO officials began in 2004 “after thwarted operations and a formal declaration that public service officers were passing on information from the Sinaloa cartel,” said Marisela Morales, head of the SIEDO.

the governments are all corrupt because they’ve all got way too much power. imagine what things will look like if they get even more.

the SSP (secretary of public security) a position that reports directly to Mexico’s president has pending arrest files and the information is being denied for 12 more years. Now they want 200 millions from the USA for a Merida initiative (fight drug cartels) but as usual… in an unsupervised way or to have those funds come back to the USA in purchases of weapons from the uncontrolled uncensored manufacturers.
maybe drugs are not legalized because someone higher with connections to all governments wants to keep it as monopoly.. humm… what do you think?
That vast amount of drugs flows by highways and planes all around the globe.

I happen to work with mostly Mexicans and have learned that Calderon is one of the most powerful people in the drug Cartels in Mexico, this is why there are all the drug wars going on there right now, Calderon is making a move for taking over the entire network of the drug trade in Mexico.
What a country!

Part of the border erosion plan. Scare the border populace till they move away from the violence. Turn a blind eye to the border violations. Reduce border patrols (maybe even put some in prison for doing their jobs and killing drug mules). Empower the thugs with masses of cash. So they can buy off the border Patrol and politicians. Viola. You have a standing army of illegals in America. They dont wear uniforms so we cant just shoot them. We must entertain ourselves with some dumbass legal maneuvering and our turtle speed justice system. It’s all bubble gum for the mind. Its a distraction we should ignore for the time being and pay attention to the real stuff. The robber barons and carpetbaggers.

Simple fact of the matter is that Mexico’s government is corrupt as s---, along with most other governments, not excluding the Drug War champions, Colombia and the U.S. Local police departments in the U.S. have long been subject to corruption. Do not doubt that much of the drug trade is being conducted by members of law enforcement. Prohibition is the root of all of this, but the legalization movement is growing and I think we are actually in the beginning stages of a major shift in drug policy. Even cops are massively turning against prohibition and making petty drug offenses matters of little priority. Sorry to shine some optimism on this discussion.
“Look at prohibition, all it did was make a bunch of criminals rich.” –Hunter S. Thompson–one day we will look back at this current system thinking the same thing.
I urge all of you to also consider the fact that the drug war is raping cultural traditions, like coca growing among the indigenous peoples of South America. If you want some quality drug education, visit http://www.erowid.org. Peace………

Exactly, 12, just like CIA = drug cartels. I saw on the news here in Mexico that Mexican drug cartels are putting up signs in public places denouncing that the only drug cartel that isn’t being eliminated by the Mexican government is the Sinaloa state cartel; in their defense, Mexican officials promptly replied that they have apprehended bosses from several of the most important drug cartels; but, notice they said “several” and not “all” because the only cartel from which they haven’t apprehended bosses is—you guessed it—the Sinaloa cartel!

October 28th, 2008 at 11:52 pm

10,000 snipers on our side of the border would slow it down. A lot.
