Meanwhile, in Ciudad Juarez -- just over the border from El Paso, TX -- one news photographer was killed and another injured in a shooting ambush on Thursday as reported by Adriana Gomez Licon for the El Paso Times.

I just read Sebastian Junger’s “War” an account of his multiple extended embedded tours with Army forces deployed in Afghanistan. Remarkably good read. You recognize that in that terrain - the challenge is reminiscent of the battles in Vietnam - where you took and held some area, then moved on, only to fight a battle to re-take that same location in the future. In Afghanistan it is the terrain which allows these small, fluid forces to harass a much more powerful force. With Mexico the terrain is not so protective but the reaction to the application of force by the Mexican Army should be about the same. Just as the insurgent forces move into and out of Pakistan all the time in response to US Army actions in Afghanistan - the actions 17 miles from the border will be driving these folks across our porous border. I’d like to be hearing now what the Obama Administration is doing and intends to do about this. Or are they playing politics with this issue of national security to appease the Hispanic voting coalitions they count on?
