One of Mexico's most closely guarded secrets has been which government official ordered soldiers to fire upon a student demonstration in Mexico City's Tlatelolco square on Oct. 2, 1968. Several hundred students are believed to have been killed in the massacre, although the government listed the casualties at just over 30.

When will this Marxist propaganda die? It seems the liberal American press peddles this sob story about the 1968 protests whenever the right seems to be gaining internationally. The Tucson Citizen had this as the front page banner headline a few weeks ago, with full color photos, no less. Modern Mexican administrations have failed to advance the rule of law, to be sure, but their war against the Stalinist left isn't something they should apologize for.

For a moment there, I was wondering why the news network would have such files. Duh!

The archives cover 33 years, dating from 1952 until 1985. Ordinary citizens can access the files with a special permit.

Imagine the shocks to society if America did the same thing.
