The Obama administration has been delaying the release of a Justice Department report that ties the growing availability of methamphetamine in the U.S. to large-scale production of the drug in Mexico.
The delay, according to The New York Times, is partly a response to the increasingly delicate politics of the U.S.-Mexico border and drugs. The report, by the department’s National Drug Intelligence Center, was to be handed out at a law enforcement conference in San Diego last month, but the White House officials raised concerns because that same week President Felipe Calderón of Mexico was coming to Washington for a state visit.
The Mexican government complained about an earlier NDIC report that portrayed drug trafficking in Mexico in stark terms. The unreleased report says drug cartels easily bypass the Mexican government’s restrictions on importing chemicals used to make meth, the Times reported.
Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler told the Times that the department was delaying the report’s release for administrative reasons.
NRA’s fault!
Obama is one sorry sack of excrement.
Obama hid it because of the Arizone law debate!
Exactly! He's after the Hispanic vote and he'll go to any length to get it.
Unconscionable! Obama is so corrupt. He couldn’t care less how many people in this country get hooked on drugs (and die) as long as he doesn’t upset the Mexican President.
Thanks for posting, that says it all about meth.
Like W used to say, family values don’t stop at the southern border.
Your last statement indicates what an out of your mind retard you are!
We don’t want to upset Calderon now, do we?
Once again you have to ask yourself who the administration is representing, and whose side it is on.

WOW, such insight. Thanks for using such a vile term as a noun from those who can not defend themselves. I bet you feel like a big player now.
A few people on FR would like to demonize your “War on Drugs”
Come on, the world can’t come to an end just because something offends some people.
Given what the poster “investigateworld” said:
“I don’t know about your part of the country, but Portland, OR., metro area, all drugs, coke, meth speed, smack, weed, are totally controlled by Hispanics, both legal and otherwise.
Which is why the powers that be, including Mrs. Palin, want the Amnesty and open borders.”
Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade!
“Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler told the Times that the department was delaying the report’s release for administrative reasons.”
“the powers that be, including Mrs. Palin, want the Amnesty and open borders.”
“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”
George Orwell
If you are correct, yes, but this poster was off the wall.
I see I stung another “legalize drugs for all!” libertarian.
