What is it with our more left leaning representatives? They cant find a way to support the good guys,,,but they sure do concern themselves with the rights of thugs:
MEXICO CITY – Suspected drug gang hitmen shot dead a mayor in western Mexico as he drove back from a day out with his family, the latest politician to die in Mexico’s drug war, a state attorney general’s office said on Monday. Gunmen caught up to Mayor Marcelo Ibarra on a highway and shot him in the head on Sunday night as he was returning to his hometown of Villa Madero in Michoacan state – Reuters
MEXICO CITY The Mexican government warned Monday it would not accept conditions the U.S. Congress has imposed on an aid package to combat drug trafficking. The Merida Initiative would provide US$1.4 billion over several years to help Mexico, Central America, the Dominican Republic and Haiti combat drug trafficking. But the U.S. House and Senate have imposed several conditions on the aid, including guarantees of civilian investigations into human rights abuses by the Mexican military. – AP
