The literal side of the drug war

Got this link from Woods.  Some very graphic and disturbing photographs of the aftermath of a shootout between rival drug gangs in the Sonora province of Mexico near the US border.  My Spanish is a bit rusty, but the blog entry notes 21 deaths in the fight, and I think 9 arrests.

Found an account in English.

Maybe I’ll just slip back into the woods

While I was gone, Fox News reported that Afghan soldiers were going AWOL in the US with the help of “Big Mexican Women” whom “may be illegal immigrants.”

How did you all deal with the fear?

Addendum: Rachel Maddow on Fox’s “scare white people” strategy.
