Leader of Drug Trafficking Group Arrested in Mexico

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-world-latinamerica/20101128/LT.Drug.War.Mexico/

The supposed leader of the main drug trafficking group of methamphetamine in Mexico, La Familia, has been arrested by Mexican police. Jose Alfredo Landa is being interrogated and held in a Mexican prison. What I find interesting is the insistence of this well-known drug gang that it is in fact protecting Michoacan, the Mexican state which the group is based out of, from other drug gangs. It has proclaimed the upholding of family values, and ironically condemned the consumption of hard drugs- but with no mention of the trafficking of such drugs.
