The Washington Times Op-Ed
A few weeks back, "uniformed drug traffickers" confronted Texas sheriff's deputies on the U.S.-Mexico border. Texas authorities had tried to stop three SUVs near El Paso, but the SUVs immediately fled south. The authorities gave chase, where what appeared to be the Mexican army was waiting for them. They were armed, wore uniforms and their Humvee was allegedly topped with a .50 caliber machine gun.
A bona fide Mexican standoff ensued, but no shots were fired. This time.
