Sorry, Firefox is being very buggy about letting me Copy/Paste much. Click away. (Well, looks like IE works much better, or is the problem Windows 10?!1 Just did the Copy/Paste with IE.)

"Considering that the aforementioned actors are U.S. nationals and met with the drug kingpin designated on June 1, 2001 to negotiate a project to make a movie without informing authorities, their behavior could be taken as an attempt to conceal Guzmán's location and try to do business with him, the intelligence report adds. ....
