The Bribery Business Must Be Slow in Mexico

There is a terrorist threat in Mexico against Americans only it is from Mexican police. Two weeks ago (March 4th) a senior US Government official with the Transportation Security Administration was brutally attacked. This official, who is in charge of surveying and assessing Mexican airports to ensure that they meet the U.S. Government security requirements, left his hotel room in Tijuana, Mexico on Friday evening and crossed the street to buy his daughter a gift. While returning from the gift shop he was accosted by two Mexican police officers. They pulled the U.S. Federal agent into an alley and beat him while demanding $1,000.
So, Mr. Fox, protector of border crossers, will you be looking into this? Perhaps you need minutemen of your own to keep an eye on those wonderful policemen of yours. We could lend you our ACLU monitors, I'd love for them to follow your "law enforcement" personnel around for a few weeks.
