At least the military people that haven't been bribed. Mexico also has an impoverished legal system, so there is also much opportunity to bribe and/or intimidate judges, prosecutors and jury. This is why we like to call these things "war", because it overloads the civilian law enforcement and justice system, and you lose if you get too ideological. Flute:

What I meant was human rights for people who happen to live in the same area as the drug cartels are operating and get their human rights arbitrarily broken.

Some other news reports we get in Arizona: Reports of bribes to military officers are in the news. Bribes are rampant with government and police. That is why Mexico sent the military to the border regions. A few months ago, the police chief of the Nogales, MX border town was shot walking into the police station. You can't say No to drugs. On the US side, the mayor of a US border town claims he has had death threats. In Phoenix, there are hundreds of murders a year of small time drug dealers that didn't pay the drug ring for fronted drugs and got disciplined for the indiscretion. There are wars between drug cartels, and bodies show up in public places on a regular basis. This all is happening in a 100 mile stretch of Arizona border. Which used to be the quietest part of the 2000 mile US-Mexico border. Flute:
