Whack-a-mole: U.S. brings “intelligence advisors” to Juarez (in Spanish)

Some weeks ago, there were leaks from the Obama administration of a comprehensive review of its strategy regarding the "national securiyt threat" in Mexico. Last week, Secretary of State Clinton announced that the U.S. needs to do "more" there, without stating specifics. Now, in a Mexican newspaper, we begin to see the implementation of the Obama administration's additional actions to involve the U.S. in the Mexican drug war that U.S. drug laws created. Apparently, the assumption is that, with U.S. help, the Mexican government can get smarter at "whacking the moles."

U.S. brings “intelligence advisors” to Juarez (in Spanish) Mexico Institute: Washington has decided to raise its involvement in Cuidad Juarez, Chihuahua. As never before done in Mexico, the U.S. government will send “intelligence advisors” to the city, as well as approving Pentagon funds to be used to help the Mexican government. The U.S. also has ordered six federal agencies to support the Mexican Ministry of Public Security in its efforts to bring security to the border city."
