REPORTING FROM MEXICO

We woke up this morning to the unfortunate news that the "El Chapo Guzman" Sinaloa Cartel was no longer the largest cartel organization in Mexico - the Zetas are the new number #1.  In most countries you wake up to hear about political squabbling, the daily accident report or simply the weather.  In Mexico we went overnight from death to more death.

Mexicans could put up with the lesser of two evils, but now that the Zetas are the #1 criminal organization in Mexico, one can only imagine how this is all going to end up.

I got my information not from a Mexican newspaper, although they are buzzing with this news item, I read it off a newspaper in Argentina:

Makes you wonder if there is any worthy news in Argentina that they thought the drug war in Mexico was more pressing to cover.
