Collateral Damage: "In Mexico, We Have Let the Violent Ones Do the Talking"

An interview with the author of a book about the collateral damage wreaked by the drug war in Mexico

"In Mexico, We Have Let the Violent Ones Do the Talking" - IPS ipsnews.net: "'In Mexico, we have let the violent ones do the talking,' says journalist Marcela Turati, author of 'Fuego Cruzado' (Crossfire), a new book that tells the stories of victims of President Felipe Calderón's war on drugs, which has left an official death toll of 30,000 in four years.

In her book, Turati gives a voice to people who have been widowed, orphaned, maimed or forced to leave their homes by the drug-related violence -- the invisible victims of a conflict that is bleeding the country white." Jan. 20, 2011
