Al Jazeera on Mexico's Drug War

Al Jazeera has an excellent new collection of stories and news pieces they have done on the drug war in Central and South America.

It has been almost five years since Mexico’s crackdown on drug cartels began, but the situation doesn't seem to be getting any better. The Mexican government, which hasn't revised its death toll since December 2010, says that 35 000 people have been killed in drug related violence in that time. Other estimates place the number of people killed since the crackdown at more than 50,000.
