MEXICO: New Narco Gang Documents Reveal High Level Corruption.

AP/MIAMI HERALD/                The Reforma newspaper reports that police documents obtained from a narco thug bust reveal names and contact numbers along with shared U.S. intelligence data. The sensitive information is renewing fears of high-level corruption in Mexico's drug war. The internal documents also included a drug payroll listing police commanders. They were found in the car of an associate of drug kingpin, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, during a May 2009 bust.

Wall Street Journal Profiles Mexico's notorious "El Chapo."

Few newspaper reports are considered "must reads."

But if you are interested in Mexico's drug wars...today's weekend edition of the " Wall Street Journal" has a must read.

It's a long but easily digestible profile of "El Chapo," Joaquin Guzman Loera, Mexico's most notorious drug trafficer ...by David Luhnow and Jose de Cordoba.

Guzman has been sought for eight years...with a $5 million USD reward for his capture.

In the print edition...this two and one quarter-pager with photos and a map/chart ...profiles the growth of Mexico's drug violence...thru the life story of the fugitive narco folk hero known as "El Chapo"... from his birth in Badiraguato, Sinaloa... to his escape from a luxurious Mexican prison cell in 2001.

It reports that Guzman pioneered the building of underground tunnels to transport drugs under the US/Mexican border...and details the now common gruesome drogista practice of decapitation.

Amazingly... it's now online... and worth the time.
