“Longtime Mexico City Bureau Chief of the
Dallas Morning News Laurence Iliff attacked the new Mexican President
Felipe Calderon for his aggressive use of the Mexican military to go
after the drug cartels in Mexico in a front
page story in Tuesday's Dallas Morning News.”
Ed Cognoski responds:
If an American President began using the US military for police work inside the US, I expect the inevitable criticism would be newsworthy here, too, and rightly so. Especially if civilian control of the military were weak in the US and the fear of a military takeover of government real.
