Major Mexican Drug Cartel Offers to Dissolve,"and return to our daily productive activities
he vicious Mexican cartel known as “La Familia” has made public a letter, where they offer to disband and turn themselves to the authorities, if the government promises to protect citizens in the state of Michoacán.

Officials from the Michoacan chapter of the federal Attorney General’s Office have reported that the one-page letter allegedly signed by the Mexican drug cartel “La Familia Michoacana” appeared on a “narco-manta” on an overpass and was dropped in the streets of a few towns in the state of Michoacan, as well as sent as an e-mail to reporters last Tuesday.
Authorities said they couldn’t immediately confirm the authenticity of the letter, but Ricardo Najera, spokesman for the federal Attorney General’s Office, stressed that “regardless of whether the message is authentic or not, the federal government does not make deals or negotiate with drug cartels.”

1. This is sudden, isn't it? Very interesting information.
Hope Calderon doesn't make a stupid mistake dealing with a possible big step forward.

It was a mistake to throw open the doors to US involvement in Mexico's internal problems. BIG mistake. That's when things got really rocky, and violence escalated wildly almost instantly.

Thank you for posting this information.

2. What are they after with "protect citizens of Michoacan"?
Is there an operation going on there?

Is this a reaction to US involvement?
