SAN ANTONIO -- Valley authorities are on alert tonight after the FBI San Antonio office receives "credible information" of a threat to kidnap agents and kill them.

The Gulf Cartel is believed to have massed armed men, with visas and passports, along the border to come into the United States and kidnap two FBI agents.

Not likely, today our law enforcement has more handcuffs on them than do the criminals.

Got a link to the statements of the new Tucson chief?

"You apparently don't understand the process of the Drug dealers addicting people. "

Let me guess. You acquired your knowledge from TV and Sunday School lessons. I remember the scenario. A "pusher" gives an innocent victim a free sample (or a shot while sleeping) and the victim is "hooked" for life, right?

It was that eavesdropping gear....some Army intel group with King Airs.

PEPES brought down all of Pablo's cover and forced him to act foolish in constantly calling his son and with less and less help from his folks.

Delta did not kill Pablo. Colonel Martinez's soldados did....they wounded and then executed him and rigfhtly so.

American Spec Ops guys alongside the Colombian Elite Battalions (bush hats and tiger striped outfit and fairly uncorruptable) are who killed Gonzalo Gacha SW of Cartagena after 2-meter intercepts and tailing his 15 year old son....who they also killed.

I was in Colombia on a Brasilian passport and was stopped and interrogated by US military along with the aforementioend Elites back in 1989 on the Hwy between Baranquilla and La Cienega.....

there has been "quiet cooperation" a long time


lol.....18F mighta been there...lol

"In my experience, drug users are turned on by other users, not dealers."

If user A is turning on user B. The user A is by definition a drug dealer.

Are you kidding? The demonrat legislators/lawyers conglomerate will never allow their main source of income to be dried up.

Perhaps one solution would be to deport convicted drug buyers/users to the country from whence their drug supply originated for a "rehabilitation" period of several years?

But that would necessitate the borders be controlled in a way they aren't now. *sigh* Back to square one. EVERYTHING comes down to controlled borders.

LOL. You know what, that would be a GREAT idea. Imagine if a heroin junkie had to spend some time in Afghanistan, or if a Cocaine addict had to spend some time chilling out in Colombia. I think they would drop their habits cold turkey.

That is a really good idea Lark. And much more effective than locking up drug peddlars (which only means two more take their place). Sadly that plan could never occur due to hordes of lawyers waiting in the wings.

But if applied it would work.

I saw on the news just a day or so ago that Mexico had officially declared that they would maintain sovereignty over all drug investigations in Mexico, and would conduct the investigations without the help from law enforcement agencies from other countries.

Things are lookin' real good, eh?

Sadly no, people I love dearly.

How can anyone that addicts a person be called a Friend. A Pusher is a pusher.

Bribery, murder, graft, extortion - all normal routine day-to-day business in Mexico.

They are our friends.

Judges let them go. There's story after story, so many stories that it is not even news anymore.

Addiction creates big demand. At the present level of enforcement drug prohibition serves only as price supports.

I suppose it could be possible to crush the drug runners, but it would take a massive effort, and it would be resisted by some decent, conservative people who don't want massive federal police actions.

Alternative is to repeal drug prohibition. That won't reduce crimes related to drugs:

• theft will still be a problem because addicts will always want more than they can afford;
• violent crimes will still be a problem because drugs mess up peoples minds and addiction erases addicts' spiritual values.

But it will let us divert the public moneys now used for drug prohibition to addiction treatment.

Yes --- they're one of the big drug cartels --- the Sinaloa region where the drug king pins are very popular and powerful. They're in a war with the Juarez cartel --- another powerful cartel. There is -- but has been for a while now a war going on between the various cartels. Last week a man up here from Chihuahua got killed in a drive-by shooting --- the killer has not been caught, his family had to come up to get his little son who was in the vehicle when he was killed. This happened in a busy and nice part of town. But no one's talking about it -- it's not considered a big deal --- because it's just Mexican crime spilling over to the USA side --- but doesn't really involve Americans.
