foreign reporters, Lozano said it could take 15 years to clean up

* In November 1993, President Clinton signed Presidential Decision Directive
* No. 14, shifting U.S. anti-drug efforts away from intercepting cocaine as
* it passed through Mexico and the Caribbean, and, instead, attacking the
* drug supply at its sources in Colombia, Bolivia and Peru.
The President himself ordered them to stop checking!!! This is in the same
leadership vein as Reagan declaring himself a "Contra".
And why did President Clinton change strategy?
He didn't have much choice. The Mexicans didn't want to work with us anymore.
We greatly pissed them off. U.S. law enforcement literally knows no limits.
* The United States subsequently arranged for a Mexican doctor involved
* in a murder, Humberto Alvarez Machain, to be kidnapped from Mexico and
* spirited to the United States to stand trial.
*
* The abduction outraged the Mexican government.
*
* When the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the legality of the kidnapping in
* June 1992, Mexico temporarily suspended its participation in joint
* anti-narcotics operations with the United States.
*
* Then Mexico adopted its Mexicanization policy a year later [keep American
* drug enforcement out of Mexico], and the State Department said that the
* abduction was directly to blame for Mexico's increased concerns about
* national sovereignty.
Of course, that's no reason not to check our U.S. borders.

Not only did the FBI hassle them big time, but also the FBI/NSA broke
nationwide into homes and offices that were associated with them and
many other groups, including lawyers offices and churches.
In almost every incident, documents and files were ransacked while office
equipment and other valuable items were left untouched.

So...how have I done, to indicate how powerful keyword monitoring is?
NSA employees would go to jail for ten years for describing the effectiveness
of DICTIONARY's keyword monitoring.
I am not an NSA employee.
I wrote it myself.

Wow, people whose only job is to edit the keywords.
What a cushy job!

of just little ol' me doing everything, is a truly nig
