Claiming Chapo had won could even be a bit of backstabbing – the official's way of saying his Sinaloa counterparts aren't doing their job; or even a sly way of implying that the mexican gov't is protecting Chapo. hard to know. <br />in the more harmless way, it's just like reporters, pushing their own cases. the real difficulty lies in deciphering which reports are accurate, how they're biased, etc etc, and then making the decisions. the source to talk to of course is the director of DEA intelligence, but he barely says anything. i'm working on a story on this exact problem right now, hopefully will get it done soon.malcolm beithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572047139102249019noreply@blogger.com
