More people were killed in Mexico in 2008 than were killed in Iraq
Why is the main street, corporate news media not covering this story? Why? the cover-up?

It is grossly undercovered by the American media. It's is on our border. It has the potential to extend into our country side. … The illegal narcotics teams in Mexico are in a direct civil war with the government in which they are killing the police, killing judges, killing the army ... surprised that no one in the American system is looking at it very much. It's a very serious problem."
