Movement for Peace with Justice: Mexico's Calderon agrees to reconsider drug war strategy

Another take on the meeting between Javier Sicilia and Mexican President Calderon

Mexico's Calderon agrees to reconsider drug war strategy - Fox News Latino: " Mexican President Felipe Calderon and a prominent poet who has led a campaign calling for an end to the country's bloody drug war agreed to create a tracking commission to work on the proposals presented Thursday by victims of violence.

After more than three hours of dialogue with Javier Sicilia, who heads the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity, and victims of violence, Calderon said he was open to 'reviewing' his security strategy.

He also accepted Sicilia's proposal to create a commission to 'work on behalf of the victims' as well as on a new security strategy.

The president likewise agreed to meet again in three months with the poet, whose son was murdered by gangsters in late March.

'I'm willing to make changes,' said Calderon, who added that to do so he would need to 'see clearly' the direction in which to direct his strategy to fight organized crime, an effort in which the military is playing the central role."
