The two most important criminal organizations in Mexico are engaged in all-out war, and the most spectacular battles are being fought for the cameras as the combatants pursue a strategy of intimidation and propaganda by dumping ever greater numbers of headless bodies in public view — the victims most likely innocents.
No longer limiting themselves to regional skirmishes, the older, established drug-smuggling Sinaloa cartel is now fighting the brash, young paramilitary Zetas crime organization across multiple front lines in Mexico in a desperate fight, according to U.S. and Mexican law enforcement officials and security analysts on both sides of the border.

I’ve seen the videos of what they do to these people. Islamic beheading is a picnic compared to these monsters.
Agreed, on both posts. LOL.
Shouldn’t intrastate drug policies be decided by the states rather than the feds per the Tenth Amendment?
