This story has been out there for over a month and yes it was one paragraph talking about narcogangs. Mexico isn't exactly Pakistan. Try Googling the JOE.

You'll learn about the Mexican melt-down that led to a $20 billion US guaranty of Mexican debt (which was never called, by the way), part of a $50 billion package; rising oil prices helped Mexico retire those bonds. Now, add falling oil prices, an ongoing narco war, and billions of dollars of loss from dollars remitted from Mexicans in the US. So what, exactly, is off base here? There is no military issue if Iceland goes bankrupt, but would the US really allow a narcolord or a Chavez type, in Mexico? I doubt it.

How can the El Paso Times have its hands on a leaked document when I went right online and found the document myself? It had one paragraph in the entire section on Latin America. I've always liked you David, but this is just silly. Hasn’t this bit already been played and shown to be fraudulent?
