U.S. Officials Behind 'Fast and Furious' Gun Sales Should Be Tried in Mexico, Lawmaker Says
By William La Jeunesse
While the investigation continues into the U.S. operation that helped send thousands of guns south of the border, Mexican lawmakers say they'll press for extradition and prosecution in Mexico of American officials who authorized and ran the operation.
"I obviously feel violated. I feel my country's sovereignty was violated," Mexico Sen. Rene Arce Islas told Fox News. "They should be tried in the United States and the Mexican government should also demand that they also be tried in Mexico since the incidents took place here. There should be trials in both places."
Arce is chairman of Mexico's Commission for National Security, a congressional panel similar to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
His point of view is shared by many Mexican politicians, including Sen. Santiago Creel, a former Interior Minister and the likely presidential nominee next year of the National Action Party to succeed Felipe Calderone, also of PAN.

Start packing your bags, barry.

Balance for the planned execution of a Mexican national?
This poses some interesting scenarios.
LOL - send Holder to Mexico.
Mexicans being racist.
And in this case I would be willing to let them, I'm sure a bunch of ATF and justice department bigwigs would get a very warm welcome in a Mexican jail. Obama must be really torn on this one, if he refuses to cooperate with the Mexicans he will be viewed as anti-hispanic, but if he does he may end up handing the Republicans a huge scandal to run on and sending a bunch of his justice department cronies to jail.
very good!
If the Mexican government will push this hard, and involve the UN, the MSM will be unable to continue ignoring this story.
I also feel violated by the Mexican government’s encouragement of millions of illegals coming from Mexico. Mexican officials should be prosecuted in the US for inciting mob rule.

They can have them!
Let Holder learn how to say “Prison B!tch” in Spanish.
Not a stretch to believe both subjects discussed in the same diplomatic meetings.
Now why would the Senator feel that way?
Oh, what a pleasant thought!
The thought of Holder in a Mexican prion does bring a smile to my face.
