Mexico-U.S. cooperation praised in arrests

TIJUANA, Mexico - The capture of a brutal druglord accused of ordering massacres, beheadings and the dissolving of bodies in caustic soda marks the second time in less than a month Mexico has taken down one of its most powerful traffickers.

Teodoro Garcia Simental, known as "El Teo," was seized by federal troops Tuesday when they stormed a seaside vacation home near the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

The arrest of the Tijuana-based trafficker is considered another victory for the enhanced surveillance techniques being cultivated with the assistance of Washington. U.S. anti-drug officials had been helping Mexican authorities track Garcia for more than five months.

As long as we have a lucrative market going on, this in fighting isn't going to stop for a long shot. If weed was legal in the states, U.S growers would cut their funding. Besides its shitty weed that causes stomach aches, we could do well with hydro thank you very much.
