Possible yes, likely? money talks and you know the rest. I do still think it's much more likely for the consulte thing to be a sinaloa set up or some other invovment. One thing I know for sure is we will never get any official conformation. Hmmm that is some food for thought, I was not aware of that connection.

Yemen has been rumored to be the one providing it to Mexico. Common Sense may dictate this is wrong, and my connections are deffinitely limited, but....is it so unusual to think of most people in some sort of power in Mexico to be wearing a mask?

However it is of some value. One of the problems with face book is your profile can be set to the max privacy level and all your friends are still on public display. Living in the middle of the firestorm tends to sharpen your senses. I for example will not connect with anyone here on a personal level with the exception of one person. The reason is simple why invite trouble for myself or those around me. And I am as I have stated, Nadien. If I was working in the capacity that either of them were and I was under cover, even as a low level observer or related I would find other means to maintain contact with my friends and family. Thats my reasoning behind the facebook profiles. As far as homeland security being involved in Mexico, yes they are involved. That said, they are sadly ineffective. They have learned to tint the windows and put tweety bird air fresheners hanging from the mirror but they still reek of law enforcment. And the choice of personell is, for the most part out of context. As far as the Yemen/mexico connection, US propaganda. I submit to you Michels past work, http://www.hsoutlook.com/features/144-are-mexican-narco-gangs-keeping-terrorists-away-from-the-border-.html I would say much closer to the mark. Just some of my opinions based on things I have noticed over the past 10 years. Looking forward to your opinions. Nadien @ df

The facebook profiles really have no meaning, They were not working as if they had much to hide. Your very correct that it is difficult to do any type of undercover work in Mexico. But alot has to do with what types of surveillance is being done and for who's benefiet. Homeland Security is deffinitely involved in Mexico, but for more reasons than are naturally assumed. There is also a tremendous concern of any Yemen/Mexico connections. US govt. places agents strategically, sometimes for no more reason than cyphering messages. Nadien, I too respect your input.

This is why, if you have spent time living mexico you would understand the extreme difficulty in being in any kind of undercover situation regardless of agency, you would have zero chance of getting close to anybody even remotley important, when it is common knowledge that you or your husband work for us law enforcement of any kind. That is absolute suicide. No agency is going to be that sloppy. Also under cover agents don't have facebook. at least not as open as the profiles that they have. Here is the link to both. It is much more likely somebody was trying make some extra cash if anything. http://www.facebook.com/redelfs#!/redelfs http://www.facebook.com/people/Lesley-Enriquez/727825993#!/profile.php?id=727825993 Guys I try to be respectful even when I disagree, but I do disagree.
