i saw the story the other day

i didn't read it at first. something caught my eye though and i changed my mind. this is beyond disgusting

what i REALLY want to know is WHO IS THE 'PRIVATE U.S. SECURITY COMPANY'? (as if we ALL really didn't already know that)


Police 'torture' videos cause uproar in Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- Videos showing Leon police practicing torture techniques on a fellow officer and dragging another through vomit at the instruction of a U.S. adviser created an uproar Tuesday in Mexico, which has struggled to eliminate torture in law enforcement.

Two of the videos -- broadcast by national television networks and displayed on newspaper Internet sites -- showed what Leon city Police Chief Carlos Tornero described as training for an elite unit that must face "real-life, high-stress situations," such as kidnapping and torture by organized crime groups.

But many Mexicans saw a sinister side, especially at a moment when police and soldiers across the country are struggling with scandals over alleged abuses............

............He said the English-speaking man was part of a private U.S. security company helping to train the agents, but he refused to give details.......
