MEXICO: Extent of US role in Mexico under spotlight
The Mexican government admitted on 7 August that US federal agencies had stepped up their “cooperation” in the war against the drug-trafficking gangs. On 9 August President Barack Obama stressed that the help the US is providing is “technical” and that there were no US officials “controlling” operations in Mexico. This is slightly different from the Mexican line which is that there are no US agents from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) “deployed on operations” in Mexico.
