Whack-a-mole: Mexico drug gang's offer to disband: Is it for real?

This editor lives in Michoacán. We have seen the flyer. Our Mexican friends have reacted in a variety of ways, from disbelief to fear. We don't know what to make of it.

Mexico drug gang's offer to disband: Is it for real? | McClatchy: "One of Mexico's major narcotics gangs reportedly offered Wednesday to disband if the government would intensify security in the state of Michoacan, the cradle of its drug empire, and keep rival drug gangs out.

The offer came in a series of cloth banners and printed flyers in Michoacan state early in the day. Their authenticity couldn't be determined." Nov. 10, 2010
