Reuters and/or Yahoo news did a poor job with that headline. The person in question is a negotiator which is a person that enters the kidnapping picture after the fact. There is a distinction.

I understand Mexico is getting so much worse than it's ever been. The amount of violent death there is higher than Iraq these days. I ---- you not. The last several months has seen an insane spike in Cartel vs cartel / cartel vs government warfare.

I would not recommend vacationing in Mexico anytime soon.

I did kinda toss a wet blanket on the thing.

I wonder if the negotiator sent to negotiate the kidnapped negotiator's release will end up getting kidnapped?

At least now he can say he has firsthand experience on both sides of the equation.

Not in Mexico, things are getting out of control specially in the state of Sinaloa (where I'm from) close to 900 drug related killings this year.

Yeah, I never understood the link with xibit, but there's a whole slew of these "yo dawg" pics. Some are pretty hilarious. I just stumbled upon this yesterday while reading this story.

Just ask him to take bets on the Spurs and he'll send you beers. Much better deal IMO.
