"15 people gunned down at car wash in Mexico" by E. Eduardo Castillo, Associated Press / October 28, 2010
MEXICO CITY — Gunmen killed 15 men at a car wash yesterday in a Mexican Pacific coast state where drug-gang violence has risen this year. It was the third massacre in Mexico in less than a week.

The gunmen in three vehicles drove up to the car wash in the city of Tepic and opened fire without provocation, said Fernando Carvajal, public safety secretary of Nayarit state, where the city is located....
The motive was not immediately clear but investigators suspect it was the work of organized crime, Carvajal told reporters. He said most of the victims were recovering drug addicts and worked at the car wash....
Why would you kill your customers?
The three attacks did not appear to be related. Such mass shootings have become increasingly common in Mexico, where drug-gang violence has surged in recent years.
But they were just celebrating the.... never mind.

Wachovia, it turns out, had made a habit of helping move money for Mexican drug smugglers. Wells Fargo & Co., which bought Wachovia in 2008, has admitted in court that its unit failed to monitor and report suspected money laundering by narcotics traffickers -- including the cash used to buy four planes that shipped a total of 22 tons of cocaine.

HOW DRUG MONEY IS BUYING OUR NEW CONGRESS
By June, $200 million in “foreign” contributions had already come into the GOP and Tea Party and not one cent of it is accounted for. It is “corporate” money, money that doesn’t have to be American, doesn’t have to be legal, money that would put any normal American in prison for years if they had one cent in their pockets.
The $200 million is laundered drug money, much from Afghanistan but much also from Mexico, those drug money cartels that are buying America’s Southwest, the same cartels that did so well during the Bush years when the border with Mexico was open and totally unwatched.
Time to LEGALIZE!
