Castro's set-up: Media fall for dictator s ploy against Vicente Fox***Castro set up Fox in an attempt to give the famously corrupt PRI some momentum against him. The PRI barely controls the Mexican equivalent of the House of Representatives, and any damage to Fox's PAN party could help solidify PRI's control in next year's elections. This may sound arcane and inconsequential, but it isn't. If the PRI can consolidate its legislative power, and leverage that power to retake the presidency in 2006, it would be economically disastrous for Mexico. It could send waves of refugees into the United States and boatloads of cash to left-wing dictatorships throughout Latin America. And years of U.S. taxpayer dollars and diplomacy spent to bring Latin America into the 21st century will have been squandered.***
