I just don't see how you can look at the two issues as different, they are all quite connected. This was but the most minor of thread drift.

Any whoooo...

the New Yorker has a great article on the Drug Wars across the border in the latest issue, but it is not available on-line.

And the Atlantic did a really good one a few issues ago:

There is another one about the people who function as the drug war executioners that gives a great view from inside the fight on the ground, but I can't seem to find it.
