InSight Crime: What is most amusing is that data from U.S. agencies about what is happening in Mexican territory is quickly viewed as credible, when they were unable to prevent the attacks of September 11 in their own territory. Suggestions and strategies “sold” by proto-military think tanks are the latest addition to the lexicon of security analysts, but they come from a government that played down the capacity of the rebel insurgency in Iraq to respond. So why are the Americans so easily believed?
Little is fixed, while the U.S. diagnosis of the conflict in Mexico slowly comes closer to the convenient need for greater foreign presence. Coincidence?
