GUATAMALA: Hillary Clinton Urges Continued Fight Against Drug Corruption.

WASHINGTON POST/    U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged Latin America to continue its fight against official drug corruption after Guatamala's current drug czar Nelly Bonilla and national police chief Baltazar Gomez were jailed for allegedly stealing 1,500 pounds of cocaine from drug traffickers. In 2009, the previous national police chief was jailed for allegedly stealing $300,000 from drug traffickers. And prior to that, drug czar Adan Castillo was videotaped pocketing $25,000 from a DEA informant.
