The BBC Takes a Look at Mexico's Drug War

Today's front page of BBC World News Online contains an excellent article summing up the complexity of Mexico's drug war.  The reporters went into cartel-controlled territory to expose the topics that Alejandro and I have been covering: 1) the flow of US arms to Mexican cartels 2) the resulting violence of public officials and drug lords 3) the increasing efforts of cartels to recruit and find increasingly more unique ways to smuggle drugs and 4) the cooperation between Mexican and American authorities.  It's an outstanding five minute read.
