The leader of ... the Zetas, was captured Monday in a city near the Texas border, an emphatic retort from the new government to questions over whether it would go after top organized crime leaders.If you're counting, and I am, this is the 11th Kingpin we've captured in less than three years! Start the chant: War on drugs! War on Drugs! USA! Mexico!
...
Mr. Treviño is the highest-ranking and most-sought-after drug capo arrested by the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico, whose aides had questioned the so-called kingpin strategy of his predecessor, which had emphasized high-profile arrests.
The BBC mentions in passing: "The fear is that it will lead to a period of violent in-fighting between different Zeta factions as they try to assume control of the criminal organisation, our correspondent adds." Ya think?

The war on drugs has become a crime against humanity. Mexican society has been severely disrupted by the ongoing madness of the war on drugs, and those responsible for this mess should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
Dig a hole. Fill it up. Dig a hole. Fill it up. This is your war on drugs. Any questions?
