REPORTING FROM MEXICO: Acuna's image as a "nothing ever happens in this border" was shattered Monday morning when the bodies of 3-police officers were found handcuffed dead - execution style with one bullet in their heads.  The interesting part of this news item are the 143 article written about it worldwide.  If you go to google news and type "3 cops killed in Acuna, Mexico" one is impressed on why these murders are reported in Taiwan, Vancouver and San Francisco.

Don't cops get killed in other countries?

Yes but this is different, Acuna borders the United States of America and in the U.S. you do not execute three cops.  These killing are news because it announces to the world that even the quietest borders of Mexico are getting infected with the Zeta/Cartel of Sinaloa bug.

Another thing that jumps out from the Mexican reporting compared to the Rest of the World reporting are the facts.  The Mexican media say very little for reasons known, if you say a lot you die.  The Associated Press went deeper by explaining what is happening in Coahuila:

Whatever the conclusion you may draw from these cop murders, something bigger is going to happen in Acuna and U.S. authorities are trying to make sure it stays on the other side of the Rio Grande.

Barrett Brown openly declares his fight against the Zetas through Anonymous, but why?

REPORTING FROM MEXICO:  Who is Barrett Brown and why in the world would he publically announce to the world that he will be rejoining ANONYMOUS in order to fight against the ZETAS?

My answer would be twofold: He is from Texas and I really do not know why.  I mean "why" as I do not know why he would publically state he would take on the ZETAS, not why he is from Texas. 

Barrett Brown came to my attention through a CNN interview he gave announcing that he was joining #OpCartel.  You can read the interview in the following link:

I admire the fact that Barrett Brown is taking a stance on an issue that is as important not only for Mexicans but also for our own people in the United States. But what concerns me is that he does not fully understand the danger that he faces by taking such a public position.  He quoted the following after CNN asked him about fear for his personal safety:

"I don't feel I should be. I should have the right and the ability as someone who is a fairly public person to work to ID criminals in a foreign country without having to worry about being murdered.  Both my grandfathers were bombers in World War II (and) they killed innocent people and did it with less information. I'm more confident about the ratio. I'd be surprised if many people (in the e-mails) were incorrect," he said.

Barrett Brown does not seem to understand that his open defiance to the ZETAS places him in danger. Living in the United States does not assure safety. I speak from experience as I have lived in Zeta controlled territory here in Mexico and they are a different form of organized crime.

I pray godspeed on Barrett Brown's but he should have kept his intentions anonymous.  There is a thin line between bravery and bravado.
