  1. I can't imagine what you have been reading. As long as you aren't doing anything illegal you have nothing to worry about. If you have a criminal record or associations with drug dealers I would stay in the US. Are you driving or flying? Flying is no problem unless you have something suspicious in your luggage. Driving is also fairly easy but speaking a little Spanish goes a long way.

    And I agree, rabbits????


  2. you have nothing to be afraid of unless you're mixed up in illegal activity.  What do rabbits have to do with this?

  3. Well Marci and noitall sara has probably been reading the news paper.

    Try googling mexican military human rights  under news search.

    I am not sure what fairy tale you live in where If you are innocent nothing will happen to you.  

    You must be aware of your suroundings at all times and aware of the possible dangers.

    Mexico rights panel slams army for drug war abuse  Reuters

    "rights groups say poor training and command has led to army abuse and civilian deaths.

    In one case, the bludgeoned body of a man was found dumped in the desert near the U.S. border a day after he was captured by the army, the report says.

    In another, soldiers in the central state of Michoacan killed a teenager when they shot at a car that was driving around a town they had cordoned off.

    ELECTRIC SHOCKS

    Several victims told the commission they were wrongly accused of being drug smugglers by the army and tortured.

    The report says soldiers burst into the house of a man in Michoacan thinking he was a drug kingpin, covered his head, punched, kicked and beat him with the butt of their rifles and applied electric shocks to his testicles.

    The soldiers then allegedly took him to a military base where he overheard them saying, "We really messed this one up," before eventually letting him go, according to the report."

    Mexican military losing drug war support

    This hardscrabble Mexican border town welcomed 400 soldiers when they arrived four months ago to stop a wave of drug violence that brought daytime gunbattles to its main street.

    But then the soldiers themselves turned violent, townspeople say, ransacking homes and even torturing people.

    The frustration boiled over this week. More than 1,000 people marched through the streets carrying signs begging President Felipe Calderon for protection from his own troops."

    Mexico's National Human Rights Commission says it has documented more than 600 cases of abuse since Calderon sent 20,000 soldiers across the nation to take back territory controlled by drug lords.
