The Washington Post reports on the Mexican government’s taming of Ciudad Juarez, just across the border from El Paso, TX, using Mexican military forces.

Incidentally, I have decided that “organized crime” is less evocative, and thus, more appropriate than are the loaded terms of “drug gangs” or “cartels” in describing those in involved in drug and human trafficking in Mexico, or elsewhere for that matter. Those involved are criminals and they work within organizations, just as did the gangs which operated in Chicago and other cities during the prohibition years in the USA.
