Assignment 10: Mexico's Drug War

TITLE: CORRUPTION HURTING MEXICO'S FIGHT AGAINST CRIME, CALDERON SAYS

This article inspired me because it not only is talking about the drug war but shows the exact # of people that have been killed over the last 3 yrs. This article also says that they noticed that ever sense Felipe Calderon (the president) was elected they noticed that is when the killings had started. They are starting to get suspicion's that he is some how involved with all these killings that started in 2006 (the yr he was elected). It also has a map showing how many killings have happened in certain area's right now the place the most killings that have accured have been in Chihuahua and I literally mean it has been in Chihuahua. So these are the main things that cought my attention about this article.
