CIA Director Porter Goss's brief, vague reference to potential instability in Mexico led to banner headlines in newspapers here and a harsh response from Mexico's government on Thursday.

"The CIA analysis is wrong, it's erroneous and it's false," said Interior Secretary Santiago Creel, considered a potential contender in Mexico's presidential race next year.

"It's also reprehensible for an agency of a foreign government to be expressing opinions about Mexican affairs," Creel said in a news conference.

"I reject interference in affairs of an internal character ... in which the CIA has no reason to be making opinions," Creel added. <snip>

6. Narconews on Mexico

"Mexico is heading into a presidential election in 2006. A populist mayor out of Mexico City, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, is emerging as a major contender. A rise in populism in Mexico is not in the interest of the Bush administration or Mexico’s oligarch, so the powers that be have to smear the leading social-reform candidates while at the same time propping up the forces more in line with U.S. interests, neoliberal forces now aligned through the presidency of Vicente Fox."

"LACANDON JUNGLE, CHIAPAS, MEXICO: Word has been sent from Washington: Mexico’s leading presidential candidate must be stopped, at all costs, from mounting his candidacy.

A new kind of coup d’etat has been hatched to strip Mexico City’s activist governor Andrés Manuel López Obrador – the country’s most popular political leader according to all national public opinion polls – of his right to run for president in the July 2006 elections.

This attempted coup became official policy the week that Condoleeza Rice took the helm of the U.S. State Department last month, and Washington’s reliable puppets in two of Mexico’s national political parties immediately jumped to implement the master’s orders.

López Obrador’s opponents – domestic and foreign – fear that the leader of Mexico’s electoral left wing will be unstoppable at the ballot box sixteen months from now. And so forces accustomed to stealing and fixing elections for 75 years in this country have come to a last resort: A dirty plot to remove his name from the ballot."

8. Thanks for the links

God I hope they kick out V. Fox in '06...he and Bush are way too cozy

7. Mexico is extremely vulnerable right now

2 reasons: weapons proliferation and proximity to the united states

Narco gangs and mafia types now have access to heavier weapons than ever before. Plus they've got the cash to spend.

Our undefended and porous border is as dangerous to Mexico as it is to the US. Drug Mafias, terrorists, foreign intelligence services etc will be flooding through Mexico as a passageway to the United States

Mexico is in deep shit but I don't think they realize the danger they're in...our problems are theirs and vice versa

9. Mexico has Oil reserves and Bush would love to take over them

Yes Mexico is basicly a sitting duck for a take over!!!Just like Canada is!!!

In Mexico, anybody with a historical memory realizes ...
