Survivor Details Massacre of 72 Migrants by Drug Cartel in Mexico
"...A wounded migrant stumbled into a military checkpoint and led marines to a gruesome scene, what may be the biggest massacre so far in Mexico's bloody drug war: a room strewn with the bodies of 72 fellow travelers, some piled on top of each other, just 100 miles from their goal, the U.S. border.
The 58 men and 14 women were killed, the migrant told investigators Wednesday, by the Zetas cartel, a group of former Mexican army special forces known to extort migrants who pass through its territory...
...Many residents in the state tell of loved ones or friends who have disappeared traveling from one town to the next. Many of these kidnappings are never reported for fear that police are in league with the criminals...
...The migrant told authorities his captors identified themselves as Zetas, and that the migrants were from Brazil, Ecuador, El Salvador and Honduras..."
Lets remember this when the 'logical' arguments for the legalization of marijuana come around.
I think Mexican "officials" can stop wasting their time commenting on Arizona's laws, and start focusing on saving their country from destruction. Can any "official" be trusted in this country?
Also in the last few weeks...

Sickening and scary. It almost sounds like the Mafia years ago. All I can do is pray.
