Washington Post Presents Mexican Drug War Series

The Washington Post today introduces the first installment in an on-going series, "Mexico at War: On the Front Lines," about the increasingly violent Mexican drug war. Post reporters Steve Fainaru, William Booth and video producer Travis Fox spent months traveling throughout some of the most dangerous areas and interviewed top officials about their military strategy (a selection of quotes is below). The Post's series will continue throughout the year.
