MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican Secretary of the Interior Francisco Blake Mora, a leading figure in the country's deadly war with drug traffickers, died Friday in a helicopter crash on his way to a meeting of judicial officials. He was 45.

Blake Mora was President Felipe Calderon's point man in the all-out military and law-enforcement push against traffickers, frequently traveling to violence-torn cities for meetings with besieged state and local security officials.

For many Mexicans, he embodied the government's get-tough attitude on the narcotics business, publicly pledging on many occasions to keep bringing the fight to the traffickers instead of backing down.

Its not the governments that need to smarten up its the citizens.

You think guys like this really believes the SHIT that he spewed about the drug war? Hell no. He believed in the VAST amounts of bribery money he could get being in the position he was in.

A criminal organization ESPECIALLY of the size of the cartels CAN NOT survive without the permission of the authorities.

The citizens of the world are the ones that need to smarten the fuck up and DEMAND a end on this WAR against ourselves, as is our democratic right.

My parents and grandparents shouldve started all hell when the government decided that they have the right to tell us what to, and what not to put in our bodies. That was never the purpose and should've never been the right, of government.
 
They probally arrested the wrong guy recently or affected profits way to much..... and had to be dealt with a greenlight
 
Mexico loss of Blake Mora won't change drug war

He was the face of Mexico's federal government, the chief public servant carrying a message to stay tough and bringing new offensives to states beleaguered by drug violence.
The death of Mexico's No. 2 official, Interior Secretary Francisco Blake Mora, in a helicopter crash Friday was a stunning mishap too odd for some Mexicans to accept as an accident. But just like the loss of another interior minister three years ago in a plane crash, Blake Mora's death won't change the course of the deadly assault on organized crime.

Even as President Felipe Calderon choked back emotion in announcing the loss of "a great patriot ... a dear friend" in a crash that may have been caused by weather, he reiterated his resolve to pursue the war against cartels. It has cost more than 40,000 lives by many estimates, though the government has given no official figures since 35,000 deaths nearly a year ago.

"I am convinced that the best way to honor his generosity and loyalty ... is to intensify the struggle," Calderon said in a national address announcing Blake Mora's death along with seven others outside the capital. "We will continue with renewed vigor and zeal."
