TYT: 49 Headless Bodies - War On Drugs In Mexico Is A Failure

[pokerfan]

Via The Raw Story: "Mexican police on Monday searched for perpetrators of a drug-war massacre in which 49 people were killed, decapitated, dismembered and left in plastic bags on the side of a highway. The mutilated corpses, whose hands had been cut off to prevent fingerprint identification, were discovered close to the northern city of Monterrey, 180 kilometers (110 miles) from the US border...".* Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks blame the failed drug war imported from the United States.

1. I just came on to DU to post this video.

You beat me to it. But on topic, the Second War on Drugs is working about as well as the First War on Drugs (1920s-alcohol)

2. Makes me ill. And when it is covered, because the violence has spilled over the boarder,

they frame it as an 'illegal immigrant' problem.

Maybe that one cop you had on a few weeks ago can claim this as a success, too.

Thanks for covering this.
