MEXICO CITY – The drug-cartel enforcer told an unsettling story: A woman who worked in the Mexican border's biggest U.S. consulate had helped a rival gang obtain American visas. And for that, the enforcer said, he ordered her killed.

“A U.S. federal official familiar with the investigation said Friday that after the killings, U.S. officials investigated possible corruption involving Enriquez and found none.”

Phew! That’s a relief- and I believe them too- just like I trusted Acorn when it did a self-serving internal audit and found no corruption. (/sarc)
