re: #15 wrenchwench

Heh so now i come back after paging a LAT article on how the agent can be sued. But in any case we both have the same problem at it’s source.

Is there even any question awful things are happening there? The cartels the kidnapping the mass murders the disappearing women of Juarez. on and on. the idea that this violence and corruption stops some place well away from the border is wishful thinking. Despite huge efforts the cartels have had very little success in suborning our agents. The pressure to move the drugs, humans and money builds anyway.

There is a possibility out there that awaits real evidence. Until then no point getting into the idea a corrupt Mexican agent may have payback or intimidation in mind in popping off a few shots along the border. Your argument about what our guys do kinda supports the possibility, but again we await better data.
