Drug lords hire exGI's

El Paso, Texas Mexican drug lords are hiring former
U.S. soldiers to protect them and train them in the use
of hightech equipment, U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes told
the El Paso Times for Monday's editions.

"With the large sums of money that drug cartels have,
they are more and more able to enlist the services of what
we have traditionally considered soldiers of fortune,"
said Reyes, DTexas, a member of the House National Security
Committee.

Former Special Forces troops and other experts in
military technique can provide extensive training to the
drug lords in escape and evasion techniques and the use
of equipment such as nightvision goggles, said Reyes,
a former highranking official in the U.S. Border Patrol.
