Media Begins to Pick up on Mexican Prison Story

This past weekend the Associated Press was alone in reporting that prison guards in Mexico released violent prisoners, loaned them guns to conduct hits and then let them back in prison in time for the morning roll call. We didn’t know if this story would get much pick up, but apparently it is shocking enough that it is getting attention from the mainstream media after all.

The New York Times picked up the story noting:

“Prisoners in a northern Mexico jail were allowed out at night to carry out murder-for-hire jobs using jail guards’ weapons and vehicles, officials said Sunday, revealing a level of corruption that is stunning even in a country where prison breakouts are common as guards look the other way.”

What is still shocking to us – beyond the story itself of course – is that the MSM has said little that the guns used were those belonging to the guards. Shouldn’t this question the whole thing about American guns being used in the cartel wars in Mexico?
