I think that's probably true (though I dont have any basis of comparison outside of the US), but there are definitely lots of contradictions in what different areas of government say about narco arrest numbers and drug related murders. Insofar as the government and independent analysts use those to demonstrate progress or lack thereof, I think it's a problem in how we look at Mexican organized crime.pchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973333514392213258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179048494901365426.post-20337829859059255622010-05-03T09:58:27.315-07:002010-05-03T09:58:27.315-07:00The overall point is a good one, but the use of nu...The overall point is a good one, but the use of numbers in the piece seems incredibly sloppy, I think. That might be the point, but the country has pretty good crime statistics, even if there's no way to figure out how many were related to organized crime.Noel Maurerhttp://www.noelmaurer.comnoreply@blogger.com
