NPR Report: Mexican Army May Be Colluding With Drug Mafia

While it sounds like something out of a movie or a TV, the truth is scarier than fiction. This story almost slipped under the radar, but when we heard about it this news made us stand up and take notice. 

“A four-month investigation by NPR News uncovered evidence that Mexico’s army takes a side in this bloody conflict, and backs one drug cartel over its rivals.”

 

If this is true, and we sadly believe that NPR is right on this one, it brings up an interesting point. Why was Mexican President Filipe Calderon blaming American guns for the crime south of the border when it is likely his own military that is supplying the guns to the Mexican cartels?
