This was a very weird article... It was on the front page of The Spectator and I thought it would be interesting to read since there has been so much debate over guns in the US in the past two months. The article was weird because the reporter was very suspicious of the cartel member. It seemed a very odd article to be on the front page because it talked about very gruesome practices.

I also realize that this article isn't directly related to politics but I think it does a great job of giving insight into a whole world that the general public is ignorant about.

I thought this was interesting... especially this little tid bit: "Given Egypt's influence in the Arab world, the officials said, its economic recovery and political stability could have a profound influence on other nations in transition and ease wariness in Israel about the tumultuous political changes under way."
