Mexico’s Public Safety Secretary Dead in Helicopter Crash
According to this AP report (via the Boston Globe ) Mexico’s Public Safety Secretary Ramon Martin Huerta died in a helicopter crash September 21. Mexican President Vicente Fox created the Public Safety Department (PSD) as part of his anti-corruption program. The PSD would help implement reforms in Mexican police and security forces. All reports say the crash was an accident. However, Mexico is in the middle of a major drug war and Huerta made enemies. Sudanese leader John Garang’s death in a Ugandan helicopter accident ignited conspiracy theories and led to accusations of murder. Huerta’s death will probably lead to the similar allegations.
A further disentegration of the facade that there is an anti-drug, anti-corruption faction in Mexico’s political structure. What vested interest does the current administration have in maintaining the status quo in a country whose slide into narco trafficking anarchy that increases our own national danger zone at the southern border of the U.S. Surely cheap labor cannot justify non-action on our border. The very survival of our country is at stake here and the MSM is falling down on this story big time. With the MSM’s rabid anti-Bush Syndrome going full bore you would think that they could take this single issue and beat the current administration bloody. I am reminded of the old RCA logo with the dog parked beside a gramaphone-”Listening to his masters voice.”
