I saw the news on Mexican TV. They show the bodies. They were with their hands strapped behind them.

I am suspicious about their claim of it being Cartels doing this.

In many areas in Mexico, the Military is paid to protect and provide intelligence for Cartels.

The Mex. military is well known for for intolerance to Illegals and deport their Illegals in this manner.

I'd like to see the ballistics report. I would just about bet, they would find only a couple different types of ammo used in the assassinations.

If, it was a Cartel action, there would have been various types of ammo used. They aren't necessarily issued weapons and buy the ones the prefer.

Mexico Migrants Murder
Tuesday, Aug. 24, 2010.

SAN FERNANDO, Mexico — Working under heavy security in a region controlled by a brutal drug gang, authorities and diplomats began the gruesome task Thursday of identifying 72 Central and South American migrants killed just 100 miles from their destination – the U.S. border.

The government's chief security spokesman said it appeared the migrants were slain after refusing to help the gang smuggle drugs.

"The information that we have at this moment is that it was an attempt at forced recruitment. That is to say, it wasn't a kidnapping with the intent to get money, but the intention was of holding these people, forcing them to participate in organized crime – with the terrible outcome that we know," Alejandro Poire said in an interview with W radio.

Marines guarded the pink, one-story funeral home where the bodies were taken after being discovered on a ranch Tuesday, bound, blindfolded and slumped against a wall.

A funeral home employee, who like most people in San Fernando was too frightened to give his name, said the dead were stored in a refrigerated truck in the parking lot, where flies buzzed over white powder spread over bloodstains.

The victims of what could be Mexico's biggest drug-gang massacre were trying to reach Texas, traversing some of Mexico's most dangerous territory. The lone survivor said the assassins identified themselves as Zetas, a drug gang that dominates parts of the northern state of Tamaulipas.

"This is frightening. It's horrible," said a tortilla stand worker in San Fernando, a crumbling colonial town of about 30,000 people on Mexico's east coast.

"It smells like death. I vomited," his friend added.

Tamaulipas state Assistant Attorney General Jesus de la Garza told the Milenio television network that 15 bodies had been identified. De la Garza said eight were from Honduras, four from El Salvador, two from Guatemala and one from Brazil.

Two words: Political Will.

Two more words: Object Lesson.

And this is part of the reason I REFUSE to help Mexico or go there any more.

There will be no arrests. There will be no justice for the slain. And the Mexican Military IS part of the Problem just like their police.

So far all the actions of Mexico to fight the drug lords have been for show only.

There is only one way to combat these gangs, go door to door, haul everyone out into the streets, single out the ones with gang tattoos first and shoot them after brutal interrogation in a wholesale display of mass executions, and demand the extradition of those hiding in our prison system (the shot callers) and just shoot them too! There is only one thing these drug gangs understand, RAW UNADULTERATED BRUTALITY, PERIOD!

But then again Mexico operated on Corruption and Brutality for hundreds of years. Wait until several dozen American Tourists finally get caught in this BS. Not like it hasn't already happened.

Funny thing to me is I used to call people investing in Mexican real estate fools. many invested huge amounts of money only to have the Mexican Government and corrupt contractors there rip them off blind. Ah how funny it is to see all these rich people squander their money on foolish investments like Mexico.
