Collateral Damage: Civilians Falling Victim to Mexico Drug War

More on the drug war's cost in "collateral damage," of civilian lives.

Civilians Falling Victim to Mexico Drug War - NYTimes.com: "During its nearly four-year crackdown on major drug trafficking organizations, the Mexican government has repeated the mantra that most of the nearly 30,000 people killed have some association with the illicit trade.

But in the span of a week, a devastating wave of attacks has killed dozens of civilians, rattled a public not easily shocked anymore and forced the government to concede that innocents are being swept up in the violence." Oct. 28, 2010
