Question Taken at Daily Briefing of November 4, 2002

Mexico: Conviction of Mexican Generals on Drug Trafficking (Taken Question)

Question: Any comment on the arrest of Mexican generals for alleged involvement with the drug trade? 

Answer: We welcome the Fox administration’s determination to combat corruption, bolster rule of law, and end impunity. Furthermore, we are encouraged that the military tribunal was conducted in an open and public way. This is one in a series of advances by the Mexican Government to counter the narcotics trade and human rights abuses.
