A good, in-depth look at the strategy of extraditing drug cartel "kingpins" to the U.S. -- and its possibly negative consequences.
San Antonio Express-News: "Shipping Mexican cartel leaders to U.S. judges might score immediate hits and headlines. But it might make affairs more dangerous in the long run, as the leaderless organizations splinter into violent offshoots competing over more fragmented turf. And some question whether extradition really is bringing the two nations closer to a successful end of their multibillion-dollar shared struggle."
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
