OFFICIAL SAYS CORRUPT POLICE HELP MEXICAN TRAFFICKERS
MEXICO CITY - Outgoing U.S. drug policy director Gen. Barry McCaffrey said
police corruption is helping keep drug traffickers out of jail in Mexico,
but he expressed confidence the country's new government is up to the task
of combating narcotics.
McCaffrey, who arrived in Mexico Thursday to attend President-elect Vicente
Fox's inauguration, also said the United States must do more to help Mexico
overcome drug and immigration problems.
Today's inauguration of Fox as president ends 71 years of one-party rule
that reached into every corner of Mexicans' existence.
