Criticizing

The CNDH, echoed by many voices around Mexico, says that the federal government needs to explain why it made Melquisedec Angulo's name public, a decision which led to the murder of four members of the slain marine's family earlier this week.

In retrospect, a bit more discretion would have been prudent, but hindsight is, as they say, always 20-20. It should also be pointed out that the names of soldiers killed in the line of duty are not typically kept under wraps, and such an act of violence against the family of a soldier/marine was close to unprecedented.
