Mexico has grappled for years with a crisis of disappearances, with more than 110,000 people reported missing.... [A civilian search group] arrived on March 5 at an abandoned ranch outside La Estanzuela and started poking around. They dug up three underground ovens. They found hundreds and hundreds of singed bone shards — from skulls, fingers, teeth....
One reason the camp has caused such outrage is that authorities were already aware of it. The national guard raided the ranch last September, detaining 10 people, rescuing two kidnapped people and discovering one body wrapped in plastic, officials say.
Salvador González de los Santos, the state attorney general, said 10 government workers combed the site at the time, using a backhoe and dogs, but didn’t find any other corpses. They “couldn’t examine the entire ranch” because it was too big, he said....
“A civil-society collective, without any training in police techniques, was able to search the ranch better than the investigating experts,” wrote Sergio Sarmiento, a columnist for Reforma.
The comments over there are largely to say it's America's fault. The dead are the fault of America's insatiable drug users.

The US military extinguishes the cartels root and branch. That’s the only practical solution. The Aztecs used to flourish too. Until people stopped their violence through superior force.
The Aztecs haven't changed much.
They're all with Santa Muerte (Saint Death) now. And speaking of America's insatiable drug users, how many of them are Wapo readers? Democracy dies in hypocrisy.
So this is the second Tom Clancy novel that we are living. First was "The Sum of All Fears" about Ukraine, and now it's "Clear and Present Danger" which was about using the US military to take on the cartels.
Of course the CIA has always been ahead of the game, creating or exacerbating the very problems we are faced with today on behalf of a tiny cabal of "thinkers" and "strategists" who are cynical as Satan and just as callous.

So their position is that the cartels are forced to make drugs and kill innocent people because someone in another country wants drugs? Unless the American drug addict is holding a gun to a cartel boss' head and makes them produce drugs and murder people...
George "Fentanyl" Floyd syndrome, [catastrophic] [anthropogenic] immigration reform, American Civil Liberties Unburdened, NGOs, etc. Mexico has a compelling cause to cooperate with America to mitigate abortive ideation indulged by terrorist cartels. Perhaps with El Salvador and other pro-life activists, too. Baby Lives Matter (BLM).
The Aztecs' Choice was human rite performed for social, clinical, criminal, political, and climate progress. Deja vu.
If it was a serial killer who did it, find the volunteer who really, really enjoys smelling the rod after bringing it up out of the ground and you've found the killer.

There's a picture in the story of the ranch compound that's maybe a couple of acres, max. Government corruption is the story here, as it usually is, in Mexico.
Are we glad yet, that the last administration kept the borders wide open for so long? It took some effort but We did it, Joe!
>"The dead are the fault of America's insatiable drug users."<
No less accurate than, on this side, our saying that the drug problem in the US is the fault of the cartels.

Certainly not attributable at all to the cartels' "facilitation" of the millions of illegals whomever was running the Biden misadministration welcomed in.

I’m sure the average American drug addict is fine with drugs from China.
Modern Democrat Molotov Cocktail/Antifa mask wearing party - filled with envy.
Supply, demand, and empathetic invasion. There needs to be emigration reform to mitigate progress at both ends of the bridge and throughout. China needs to stop shipping drug precursors. Canada needs to patrol its border for freelance trading. Americans need to find an alternative to Puff the Hallucinating Dragon etc to mitigate the dysfunction wrought by liberal policies and social progress.
Just the sort of people we need to take over the American Southwest.
Amirite!?!? /sarc

Supply Push/Demand Pull…
…correct to blame America in abandoning the drug war about the time Traffic was released. All those twelve step programs sure did the trick dinnt they?
Howard, …, is on target. Cartels made millions, maybe billions, facilitating the invasion of our southern border per QuidProJoe’s invitation. I wonder who else profited from that enterprise.
A drone survey could also spot disturbed soil. That way you can limit the rod poking to potentially, what’s another word for fertile, ground. I can’t look up stuff when I’m on the phone.
Are those WaPo commenters the same people who called us racists and xenophobes for supporting sane border control and immigration policies?
As with a good dinner, a state's capacity is determined by a state's appetites. Blame the customer. Keep the golden age going.
If a storm is coming, don't stop making hay now. When there's "nothing to see" you can keep the main thing the main thing.
"The dead are the fault of America's insatiable drug users. "
Absolutely!

Absolutely. In fact I was under the impression that human trafficking had eclipsed drug trafficking in profitability about 5 years ago. What a coincidence.
@Zavier Onasses, these people have been killing each other in much the same way since long before narcotics were 'a thing'.
There is also a demand to commit murder/abortion, rape/sodomy, grooming, Mengelism/Levinism, redistributive change (e.g. robbery), Diversitism (e.g. racism), waste, fraud, abuse, etc. Somethings have a domestic supply and demand. Why import an excess? We should probably take a knee.
Private Joker: The dead only know one thing. It is better to be alive.
The death of expertise continues apace.
"The dead are the fault of America's insatiable drug users."
The cartels do not only deal in drugs, so the above statement is incomplete. The cartels are heavily involved in agriculture with slave labor, particularly avacados, they are heavily involved in prostitution, kidnapping and ransom, smuggling other commodities, theft of gas and oil and minerals, not just drugs,
The cartels are overdetermined, they are sustained by several independent causes, they would be just as bad without drugs. Curing drug addiction would just re adjust their product line.
The solution may be even more intense border security, a rise in patriotic business and citizen pushback and selective US participation in decapitation strikes.

Maybe congress will impeach Trump over this!
isn't it GREAT? that we're importing these cartels into these United States?
SOON! we will be at the civilization level of Mexico! HURRAY!
They're Biden Catholics? Good to find out.
A burden is a "burden" is a measure of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion that unites the extremists in common cause. Liberal license. Progress, no less. A wicked solution. #NoJudgment #NoLabels
Mexico never really had a rule of law culture. We were losing ours under Biden. We are finished if we ever completely lose our rule of law culture.
@Are you thinking of ground penetrating radar? It doesn’t work from a drone. It can find disturbed earth, though earth can be disturbed for reasons other than buried human remains.
