‘The absurd reasoning that defines the drug war’

Bill Conroy for Narco News:

Despite the fact that an ICE informant, Ramirez Peyro, helped to facilitate a number of the House of Death murders while working for the U.S. government, because the victims were Mexicans the U.S. government and its law enforcers did not “owe a duty of care” to them. In other words, their murders don’t count, nor is anyone in the U.S. government “negligent” for allowing those murders to occur with an ICE informant’s assistance, even if U.S. officials knew in advance that the murders were to be carried out.

And now, under this same absurd legal reasoning, which defines the drug war, that same informant has legal standing to sue the U.S. taxpayers, essentially, requiring them to make good on money ICE still allegedly owes him for his work — which, of course, includes helping to run the House of Death.
