And Mexico may have to do what our current government cannot...declare this debacle and act of war against its’ sovereignty. How could we not respond to that?

Honestly, I'm not sure why El Presidente Calderón has not already come out strong condemning this action. I wonder if he was fed a completely different line also... I really would love to know exactly what was said to the Mexican Gov't, and what "we" are saying to them now.

This whole scandal is so AUDACIOUS of a plan that I'm continually struck by the scope and devastating consequences of these actions so deeply that it almost seems surreal!

I knew Obama was REALLY bad, but trafficking guns to the cartels DIRECTLY? Who in the heck is Obama in bed with that he had to make that a reality? What about the Mexican/Latino gangs in Chicago? Is there a tie-in there, too?

Man, it's such a HUGE scandal. I'm feeling impatient waiting for them to use handcuffs on people involved in this.

El Presidente has said he wants people to go to jail. But he doesn’t say who.

But he may back off that after this:

Big-league Mexican drug traffickers imprisoned in the United States are contending that unnecessarily harsh conditions — locked up alone in ultra-high-security confinement — take a physical and psychological toll and may violate U.S.-Mexico extradition treaties.

The courthouse pleadings for relief come from men who cut their teeth and made their names in a criminal underworld that has carried out unheard of levels of brutality in Mexico, including murder by beheading, mutilation, hanging and massacre.

But at least one U.S. federal judge on Thursday conceded the claims have some merit. He ordered that Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla, whose father runs the Sinaloa Cartel, a criminal syndicate in which Zambada was a ranking member, should be let out of his cell for outdoor recreation time on a roof top.
