The Latin American Herald Tribune is reporting that one of the Wikileaks cables has revealed that a U.S. diplomatic cable from 2009-2010 asserts that something like 90% of the firearms used by Mexican drug cartels come from
Central America rather than the United States.
It struck me as an interesting story since it seems to suggest that at the same time DOJ officials and President Calderon were blaming United States gun shops for arming the cartels, our own diplomats were acknowledging that the real problem was coming from somehwere else.
Combine this with the
Gunwalker scandal and even the most cynical observer of government starts looking like an optimist.
