Reporting on Mexico

The Washington Post has created an online special section titled Mexico at War

The section is described this way: "The Mexican government has launched a war against powerful drug traffickers who have enriched themselves with billions of dollars in profits from cocaine they smuggle in the United States. Washington Post correspondents are reporting from the frontlines on how the violent struggle is transforming Mexican society."

Right now, there is a video report titled, "Public Opinion in Mexico Turns Against Army" and an article titlted "Mayhem Crosses With Informers,".

There's a photo essay titled, "Mexico Targets Drug Trade in Michoacan."

You'll also find an interactive map showing locations of army activity, drug production, and trade.

I assume that this section of the Washington Post web site will be updated as reporters complete more articles on Mexico. It will probably be a good site to check on once in awhile to check for articles with relevance to politics and governance.
