Marc Lacey has a lengthy rundown of Mexican insecurity in which he refers to the DEA's position that the cartels are in their death throes. Not unlike the Iraq insurgency in 2005, I'd say, only less so. The world choice was, not surprisingly, Lacey's.
Lacey also refers to the DEA saying that cocaine prices had doubled. (Again, no direct quote.) Are they making that claim formally? I was aware that in 2007 the ONDCP had reported a 24 percent rise in the price of cocaine, but I don't remember seeing that the average price of cocaine had doubled across the nation.
