Former Star reporter and current Weekly contributor Michael Marizco has some more bad news about police officers in Mexico on his blog:
Twelve police officers of the local police and Federal Preventive Police were kidnapped last night from the northern Sonora town of Cananea, federal sources say.
A Mexican Army depot in that city was also raided after a convoy of 25 trucks entered the city and lifted the officers.
Four bodies have been recovered so far and two more returned, badly beaten but alive.

This is par for the course in the areas around El Paso and along the Texas border, but I didn’t know it had gotten so bad in Sonora too.
It’s a good thing King Bush is sending our best Border Patrol agents to Iraq. Life is so peachy along the Mexican border we can sure spare them. Oh, I know, I know, that’s the Mexicans’ problem.
Sure wish Gringo-American media would do better news coverage of our unstable neighbor.
