It'd be interesting to ask one of the drug bosses whether, if they had their 'druthers, they'd prefer an end to the drug war and the loss in profit this means, or if the money/excitement is worth the risk? I think the answers might not be as predictable as some might assume. In any case...be interesting. Y’know?

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 00:40:37 +0000 http://exiledonline.com/?p=4657#comment-3815 haha I thought the same thing Harv. There used to be one during the "dirty wars" period in the 60s, the feared DFS or Dirección Federal de Seguridad (Federal Direction of Security) but it was dismantled, thankfully, they would have turned into an ISI-on-UR-southern border. Now, the only thing resembling a security/intelligence service is the CISEN, but they are the most neglected when it comes to budget. On purpose I guess, I dont think the Goverment whant to go through a secret police so corrupted. And to kotek bear: I agree but its not only the drug demand thing, I recently read in the national news that Halliburton just won a goverment contract to start drilling in the gulf. Fuck, I hope it doesnt include Dick Cheney in the package. And personally, I would have prefered Russian hands doing the drilling, GAZPROM or some other oil giant, cant thrust an American company in this times, I didnt when they were the richest nation in the world, now that theyre broke, weell.. haha I thought the same thing Harv.
