My Drug Czar Goes to 11

Not to make light of a depressing situation, but isn't the Mexican drug czar starting to look a little like Spinal Tap's drummer? Jesús Gutiérrez (in prison for taking payments from Amado Carrillo), Mariano Herrán (looking at prison because of corruption in a later job in Chiapas), José Luis Santiago Vasconcelos (killed in the Mexico City plane crash in November), Noé Ramírez (jailed and accused of taking close to half a million dollars from the Beltrán Leyva gang); who in their right mind would take that job?
