Armed men kidnap 9 Mexican state lawmen; 2 officers found dead as police, troops hunt for them

"...ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — Gunmen kidnapped nine police officers investigating a death in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, and the bodies of two of the lawmen were found later, authorities said Saturday....

...Several drug gangs are battling for control of smuggling routes in Guerrero state...

...In another part of Guerrero, unidentified men traveling in two vehicles threw two human heads into a refreshment stand in Coyuca de Catalan, state police said. One of the heads was blindfolded with duct tape...

...Monreal said the incident was not connected to the kidnapping of his officers....

...Authorities in Ciudad Juarez, a northern border city gripped by drug violence, said police arrested two alleged leaders of the Aztecs gang linked to at least 10 murders, including the killing of a federal police officer last month...."

...I'm not in favor of the U.S. trying to solve other countries' problems. Especially countries like this one, who would rather just accept gifts of money and equipment. But there I believe there are two options: #1) Send the money and equipment. We will never cure their society of corruption, and it is hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys when a good portion of their 'most wanted' were at one time cops or politicians. But the other side here is pure evil, and if not destroyed soon, will continue to spread across the border.

...which brings us to #2) Secure the border. The yahoos in DC love to use the word 'comprehensive.' How about a comprehensive border solution. I can list out the things that are needed, but most people can figure it out. You have to have the mindset that you don't want something coming across the border (the human capacity for self defense is a great thing). However, until everybody agrees that we don't want something coming across the border (illegals, i.e. people we don't know, drug cartels, murderers, terrorists, etc.), those bodiless heads will find their way across.

...Gov. Brewer 'apologized' and 'retracted' her statement that Arizona law enforcement had found headless bodies in Arizona. Sorry folks, that's only if you elect Terry Goddard. Goddard is a good supporter of law enforcement, but so was Janet Napalitano. If Goddard wins, I guarantee you will hear more of this...

*interesting side note - rumor has it that the FBI is offering $15k for agents to volunteer to relocate to the border, and to Mexico.
