THE BORDER REPORT

Readers are saying that Meredith Romney, the LDS leader in Chihuahua, was kidnapped today by masked gunmen. Meredith is a cousin of  Mitt Romney, the former Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency in the 2008 elections. If the rumor is true, I wonder how much of the motive to Romney's kidnapping is related to pure, brazen profit as opposed to revenge or a vengeance hit. The example's been made. In late May, a 16 year old boy from the Mennonite community in Chihuahua was kidnapped for ransom. Hundreds of Mormons gathered to demand the government intervene. The boy was later released after a small ransom was paid. Se sabe algo?
