Following the Mexico drug money trail - 02 Apr 09

With many thousands of troops deployed to crack down on Mexico's drug cartels Felipe Calderon, the Mexican president, is clearly committed to a military response to the problem.

But some observers say it is very clear that the authorities must target what the cartels value most - their money - and take specific, direct action against money-laundering.

CIA makes too much money off it. DEA would lose their agency and jobs, can't have that. Got to keep this industry rolling for the "elite" to make more money, it's the second largest money maker in the world. Naww, keeps the courts in business too.
