Watch how I do this:

The United States army has carried out forced disappearances, acts of torture and illegal raids in pursuit of insurgents, according to documents and interviews with victims, their families, political leaders and human rights monitors.

All I did was substitute “United States” for “Mexican” and “insurgents” for “drug traffickers.”

Here is the original from the Washington Post.

The Mexican army has carried out forced disappearances, acts of torture and illegal raids in pursuit of drug traffickers, according to documents and interviews with victims, their families, political leaders and human rights monitors.

Neat trick, huh?

Oh. The United States is threatening to withhold up to $100 million of anti-narcotics assistance if Mexico doesn’t straighten out their act.

After all, we did.

Right?
