Charles, I have to take anything that comes from Al Giordano and the 'Narco News Bulletin"' with a very thick grain of salt. Anyone that spends time on the 'Narco Times" site trying to figure out the web of supposedly definitive reports on the by nature, clandestine and secret world of drugs and trafficking, can come away with their head aspin. It kind of is reminiscent of Lyndon Larouche's midset, where everything was a giant, complex, and continually expanding, Rockerfeller plot. Except, this time.... it is the 'narco state'. PLUS, as far as self promotion, Al Giordano takes second fiddle to nobody. Not Morris Dees, Alexander Cockburn, nor Rush Limbaugh, for that matter, really can be said to out do him in this aspect. He's always got the exact TRUTH on the behind the scenes SHADOW that haunts the world...... Narcotics! Conspiracy anybody? Come to 'Narco Times', and we'll spin a few tales. Yesterday's conspiracy marches forward into today's, which in turn forms just the platform to go full circle into yet another conspiracy tomorrow. His reporting style on the Mexican election plots, was to leap head first into also sorts of rumor mongering and shadow casting. He was going to swim through this murk faster than any other competitor. His view of Mexico under the PRI, was that it was a small sub-division of 'Narco International'. His coverage of the Paco Stanley (an important Mexican TV personality) assassination in the middle of the election, really went overtime into total spin. The problem with it all, is that when huge quantities of total conjecture are pronounced as being total truth, repetitively and under the thinest of any hard evidence..... it all begins to march off into mumbo jumbo and incoherence after a while. Could it be, that Al Giordano and "Narco Times', themselves, are not what they seem to be? I would be curious to hear a few opinions about this, from others on the list. What do comrades think about the "Narco Times'? What is Al Giordano's background, previous to his launching of 'Narco Times' last year?
