What was the most colorful, unusual, or otherwise interesting hotel you’ve stayed at?
For myself, I have 2 candidates: I once stayed in a Mexican hotel that was in a run-down 250-year old Spanish mansion with marble staircases, full of old oil paintings and crumbling antique Furniture. IT cost $3.50 a night, the sheets had holes in them and the mattress appeared to be 60 years old. The owner was an ancient, good natured Spanish-looking gentlemen.
The other was a hippie-run place built on a cliff overlooking a beach, the walls were painted with crazy hippie drawings and you slept in open-air hammocks.
My girl and I were travelling late one rainy night and looking for a place to stay. We pulled in to a secluded motel set way back from the road near a beach.
After a pleasant night, we went down for breakfast to the restaurant by the pool.
Surprise surprise. It was a nudist colony.
Even in shorts and T-shirts we were WAAAY overdressed.
And….no, before you ask, we were not “in Rome.”
Danny.

Dangerous Mexican / us criminal enterprises operating along the
Michael Webster: Investigative journalist on 1 May 2008 8:00 pm PDT
The overwhelming influence and power of Mexican drug cartels that are Mexican organizations trafficking in drugs and criminal gangs operating in Mexico and the United States. They have emerged in recent years as the most dangerous and politically influential drug traffickers in the hemisphere Western, if not the world. The Mexican cartels have existed for some time, they have become increasingly powerful with the demise of the cartels of Medellin and Cali, Colombia and have managed to dominate the U.S. illicit market drugs and other criminal enterprises.
According to the National Center Drug Intelligence, the Mexican cartels are "the predominant smugglers, transporters and wholesale distributors of cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine Mexico and heroin produced in the United States "and" are extend their control over the distribution of these drugs in controlled areas by Colombian and Dominican criminal groups, and now believed to include all the United States.
In addition to drug trafficking, cartels have been linked to undocumented immigrants, terrorism, smuggling of arms and These products are then laundered through seemingly legitimate Local companies. . Cartels by criminal gangs who work for them have been involved in kidnappings and training camps military style, some said to be the border with the United States
Robert Mueller FBI Director described U.S. based-gangs as "more organized, more violent and more widespread than ever. "The Department of Justice estimates there are approximately 30,000 gangs with more than 800,000 members in U.S. Mueller believes these violent gangs pose a growing threat to the safety and the safety of Americans.
As this reporter has documented Mexican Drug cartels are ordering decapitations enemies of the agreement, including the federal government and agents Police in the city. Many of these victims were blindfolded and hooded before shooting them. Other types of abuse victims were murdered the following: physical beating, torture, or body dumped street or lot torture involving beating, tooth removal, removal appendages, death by torture, strangulation, single shot to the head and / or multiple shots to the head and body. Other tactics were as above the head and / or face fully or partially wrapped with duct tape or wrappings or blind folds head. Body often disposed by the alternate "Pozole" method. The pozole is where they Stuff the body of acid gas sometimes still alive in a barrel of 55 gallons and pay, battery and other corrosive chemicals terrible. The theory is that they think IT makes the body Easer have done and what may remain very difficult to identify later by authorities. Many were beheaded with or without written messages on bodies or in vehicles. methods cartels torture and killing are particularly brutal. On September 6, 2006, masked gunmen entered a nightclub in the state Michoacan, fired guns into the air and rolled five severed human heads on the dance floor. The gunmen left a sign among the severed heads that read: "The family does not kill for money. It does not kill women. It does not kill innocents people, only those who deserve die. Understand that this is divine justice. " Sensitive alarming U.S. Government report on violence in Mexico
Using these horrible and terrifying tactics the Cartels sending a deterrent message to Mexican President Felipe Calderon Administration by adopting methods of intimidation made famous by terrorist groups in the Middle East. Dozens of people have been decapitated in Mexico so far this year with the head stuck on fence posts, found in trash bags and heads are thrown on a nightclub dance floor for all to see. Tens of American citizens have been abducted, taken hostage and killed by their captors in Mexico and many cases remain unresolved. In addition, new cases of disappearances and kidnapping against ransom continue to be reported as yet no high level warning has been issued to protect Americans against this world class violence. Many victims are kidnapped while detained in deplorable jail like metal cages in the so-called houses accommodation.
U.S. intelligence agencies have reported that human smuggling has become another component activities the drug cartels. " This fact is of prime importance in a post 9 / 11 environment and a historical moment when the U.S. is more concerned ever to secure its borders. Americans have been abducted, detained and killed in Mexico
Mexican cartels also expanded their relationships with prison and street gangs in the U.S. to facilitate drug trafficking, assassinations and kidnappings in the United States. For example, gangs including the Latin Kings and Mara Salvatrucha (MS13), El Paso gang Barrio Azteca and many others know and unknown.
Federal Authorities point cartels Mexican drug who are ultimately responsible for border violence by having cemented ties to street gangs like Barrio Azteca prison of American side. Azteca drugs and other U.S. retail strips they get Mexican cartels and Mexican gangs. Mexican gangs run their own distribution networks in the U.S., and they produce more of methamphetamine used north of the border. They even turned Colombians several times the purchase cocaine directly from producers in Bolivia, Peru and even Afghanistan. These gangs are often the same replacement agreement or enforcement on the U.S. side of the border. Intelligence suggests Los Zetas have hired members of different gangs different times, including El Paso gang Barrio Azteca, Mexican Mafia, Texas Syndicate, MS-13, and Hermanos Pistoleros Latinos to further their criminal activities.
Many members of violent street gangs are actively involved in other crimes such as rape, robbery, and murder. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement found that about half of the arrested gang members have violent criminal histories, with arrests and convictions for crimes such as theft, assault, rape and murder. This figure includes only those whose criminal histories are known. About 90 percent U.S. MS-13 members are foreign-born illegal aliens and depend on Texas-Mexico border smuggling corridor to support their criminal operations. MS-13 members are involved in a variety of other types of criminal activity, including rape, murder, and extortion.
FBI Director Robert Mueller described U.S. based-gangs as "more organized, more violent, and more widespread than ever. "The Department of Justice There are estimated 30,000 gangs with more than 800,000 members in U.S. Dangerous Mexican Cartel Gangs
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reports that Mexican drug cartels current operating along the border our country are much more sophisticated and dangerous than any other organized crime groups in law enforcement in America history. Indeed, these powerful drug cartels and smuggling networks and human gangs they leverage, have immense control over roads in the United States and continue to pose formidable challenges to our efforts to secure our border.
According to the end of the County of El Paso Sheriff Leo Samaniego, drug cartels operating along the southwestern border of the United States is a nation toward "themselves" with capacities intelligence weapons and communications equipment that challenges the Border Patrol and local law application. Sheriff Samaniego advised his deputies of "reverse" when they see clearly armed individuals from cartels and other criminal organizations. Many of these sophisticated networks include placing observers with binoculars, high power and encrypted radios along smuggling routes to guide smugglers past Border Patrol and other agencies law enforcement operation along the border. At the Library of Congress a report on The Criminal terrorist activities in Mexico describes how smugglers carry on a "Technological arms race" with CBP and ICE.
County Webb's, Texas Sheriff Rick Flores said he is concerned about the level of organizations resources the cartels and criminal possession and use against the local law application noting that the cartels utilize rocket propelled grenades … automatic assault weapons, and "the level four flak jackets and Kevlar helmets similar to what the United States military uses. Some local officials have taken steps to protect their workers these weapons. The sheriff of Hidalgo County, Texas Sheriff has prohibited the deputies in his department patrols along the banks of Rio Grande River because of the threat of violence from the cartels.
Along the Mexican border of the United States, drug cartels that organized criminal groups have established a strong presence in key strategic areas from Brownsville to San Diego It includes dozens of ports input, and has important connections to interstate highways all regions of the country. Providing organized crime groups with access to all United States. These smuggling routes start in South America through Panama, Honderous, Guatemala and Mexico and extends the border to the coast to the border ocean and points north all the way to Alaska.
Federal authorities Mexican cartels to the point of the drug that are ultimately responsible for border violence by having cemented these ties to street gangs and prison as Barrio Azteca on the American side. Azteca drugs and other U.S. retail strips they get Mexican cartels and Mexican gangs. Mexican gangs run their own distribution networks in the United States, and they produce more of the methamphetamine used north of the border. They even bypassed the Colombians several times to buy cocaine directly from producers in Bolivia, Peru and even Afghanistan. These gangs are often the same agreement or alternative enforcement American side of the border. Intelligence suggests Los Zetas have hired members of various gangs at different times, including El Paso gang Barrio Azteca, Mexican Mafia, Texas Syndicate MS-13, and Hermanos Pistoleros Latinos to further their criminal activities. Dangerous Mexican Cartel Gangs
The South Texas region covers it Only about 625 miles of border territory – a total area of 20.963 square miles and borders three states of Mexico. Inside territory are 11 Ports of entry which includes 15 international bridges. Directly across the cities of Brownsville, McAllen, Laredo and El Paso are large Mexican cities, each with a population between 600,000 and 1,500,000. Trains from Central America and Mexico, en route to the U.S. border with McAllen, Brownsville and El Paso Home highways and roadways to all points North. These trains, usually between 90 and 160 cars in length, Travel Central America through Mexico is a mode of transportation criminal enterprises use to enter the United States with their human and other contraband. Each year, thousands of illegal aliens cling to the sides and tops of cars to the journey north.
The El Paso-Juarez corridor in west Texas is also the gateway for drugs destined large metropolitan areas in the United States. Mexican drug cartels transport large quantities of methamphetamine, and Mexico-produced heroin, marijuana and cocaine imported through the port of entry in El Paso with major east / west and north / south highways. As mentioned earlier, these roads provide the Mexican cartels transportation routes for distribution of drugs to USA. Drug cartels also obtain warehouses in El Paso and nearby areas for stash locations and run ads in newspapers and the Internet to recruit drivers from the region to transport drugs to various destinations throughout the United States.
By the federal government of the Alpine region is largely rural and sparsely populated, encompassing Big Bend Corridor, a transshipment route for drugs entering the U.S. northeastern Mexico. The drug cartels maintain command and control in northern Midland-Odessa Border towns south of Presidio and Redford. The port of Laredo is the busiest of the 2nd and 2nd most heavily traversed land Port of Entry on the southwestern border of the exclusion El Paso / Juarez ports of entry. Port of Laredo handles about 6,000 vehicles per day. Forty percent of Mexican exports Cross in Laredo, Texas, where Interstate 35 connects directly to Dallas, and there throughout the United States.
U.S. Border Patrol Chief John Montoya describes this entry as one of the "key penetration United States. " "This is called a gateway city, not only in Mexico but the United States as well." The very conditions that make the Laredo Port of Entry so attractive to legitimate commerce also the ideal city for illicit drugs and human trade contraband.
Cartels violent turf battle for control of smuggling corridors Nuevo Laredo, San Diego. The neighboring towns of side of the border with Mexico, are the most important launch of contraband entering the United States. These twin cities all along our border with Mexico are where much of the violence and drugs cartel activity is underway. The violence is due to the fact that the major drug cartels are currently taken control over this coveted corridors in the United States known as "Plaza". Product Plaza through the major cities with large road systems, where foreign terrorists and drugs can be held before transportation to other regions of the United States. Control this corridor translates into control of all smuggling.
All criminal organizations want to go through these established safe passages United States shall pay a tax to the cartel that controls the place.
The Sinaloa cartel began to challenge the dominance of the Gulf Cartel southwest coveted Texas corridor following the arrest of Cartel Osiel Cardenas, leader of the Gulf in March 2003. In prison, Arellano Felix, leader of the Tijuana cartel, and Cardenas forged an alliance against the State of Sinaloa and its ally the Juarez cartel. Consequently, the agreements are now largely aligned into two blocks, some argue that the Gulf cartel and other that support Sinaloa Cartel. It is these two blocks that are involved in the massive and violent turf wars that are being conducted in northern Mexico
To protect and expand their criminal activities, the Mexican cartels maintain highly drug developed intelligence networks both sides of the border and have hired private armies to conduct enforcement actions. For example, the Gulf cartel Chief Cardenas employs a group of former elite military soldiers known as "Los Zetas". The Zetas are unique among drug gangs Enforcer in that they operate as "a private army under the orders of Cardenas Gulf cartel, the first time a drug lord had his own paramilitaries. "The Zetas have been contributed to the domination of the Gulf Cartel drug trade in much of Mexico and fought for sustain the impact of the cartel in the northern cities following the arrest of Cardenas. The activities of the Zetas "are not limited to defense Gulf Cartel's terrain in northern Mexico. The paramilitary force is also considered control trafficking routes along of the eastern half of the US-Mexico border and perhaps other well.
The Zetas are considered a serious threat public safety on both sides of the U.S. Mexican border. They are well funded and well equipped and have demonstrated will shooting, torture, and kill police officers, or rival cartel and gang members on both sides of the border. Federal officials consider that the enforcement Zetas among the companies most dangerous criminals in the Americas.
Reports indicate that while Zetas were originally composed of members of the Mexican Special Forces soldiers, they now include federal, state, and Local police personnel and civilians. In addition, according to U.S. intelligence officials, Zetas are recruiting former Guatemalan special forces military staff called Kaibiles and members of the notorious gang known as the border Maras, including violence Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13). They are known as "Los Zetas
According to the enforcement of federal laws such heinous acts was a revenge killing between rival gangs. Beheadings are becoming very common in many areas in Mexico where cartels and gangs battle for control of lucrative smuggling corridors. Heads are publicly displayed for the purpose of intimidation. Another brutal means of torture and death is called "Guiso." This practice is putting a person in a 55 gallon drum, usually dead, but not always, and pouring various flammable liquids on the body and turn fire. A variant of this method is place a burning tire around the neck of an individual, burning the victim alive. The rest is discharged on roadsides as a message to those contemplating crossing the cartels. The ruthless methods employed by these cartels to torture and kill their competitors are not that different techniques used by Al Qaeda and other terrorists organizations. This level of violence is particularly troubling cartels enforcement these vicious murders a mere stones throw from the American soil.
Sometimes, violence and intimidation is captured video. In 2005, a video was anonymously delivered to the Dallas Morning News showing four men, handcuffed and beaten in front of a canvas bottom of black plastic, describing the off-field interrogators their work as cartel assassins. The men were members of the Zetas. The video ends when one of the Zetas is shot in the head at close range by an off- sensor camera. Law enforcement authorities have never found the body of the murdered Zeta, nor the three other men, dead or alive.
U.S. officials implementing the law are struck with the resilience and determination of these criminals. In the words of a senior law enforcement: "They [the] Zetas have Texas-Mexico Wired frontier. "For example, in 2005, barely six hours after taking the oath Nuevo Laredo as police chief, Alejandro Dominguez was killed. He announced a repression of cartels. It was shot over 50 times. In mid-September 2006, a group of 25 people in Nuevo Laredo were gathered in a local hotel with visas Travel to the U.S. for work. The Zetas mistakenly thought the workers was a rival cartel and kidnapped and tortured. The workers were released when the cartels realized their mistake. Federal U.S. law enforcement authorities said Mexican Police would not respond to calls for emergency assistance that have been made during the incident.
The violence spread to neighboring states of Mexico also has a common border with U.S. Nuevo Leon, once considered one of the safest States and home to some of the richest families in Mexico, saw the assassination of three forces Agenda top officials who had voted against the drug cartels. In September 2006, two Police chiefs have been killed as well as the top crime investigator. Over the past two years, six journalists covering drug trafficking along the border have also killed.
The Zetas have become completely entrenched along the Mexican border and U.S. increased to more than 1200 with hundreds of others in a network of support throughout Mexico. In an example of the capabilities of the Zeta, a shooting Sept. 22 2006 Nuevo Laredo between the Zetas and an assassination target lasted approximately 40 minutes. The Shootout included bazookas and grenades were reportedly killed and about five Zetas and injured approximately five others.
In response to such aggressive efforts on the part of the Zetas to defend and control Parts Mexico and its border with the U.S., the Sinaloa cartel established its own heavilyarmed Enforcer gang, "Los Negros." The Group works similarly to the Zetas. Los Negros, attempting to wrest control from the Zetas on the local police in Nuevo Laredo suspected to be responsible for the rising violence there. By Webb County Sheriff Rick Flores, the cartels of the war and the rise of violence caused by these paramilitary enforcement officials have caused a great man border exodus from Nuevo Laredo into Laredo, Texas.
Federal, state and local law enforcement officials the right to witness a link more between Mexican drug cartels, the illegal alien smuggling rings and gangs U.S.. The smuggling of human beings who operate along the Southwest border can not move their human cargo through the corridors of the cartel controlled drug without paying a fee.35 The typical Mexican illegal alien pays now about $ 1,200 to $ 2,500. For foreign countries other than Mexico that price is often considerably higher, and may even be more attractive to the cartels. Foreign nationals and terrorist are often paid an exorbitant higher fees in range from $ 45,000 to $ 100,000 per person. Indeed, it is estimated that the smuggling of humans through Mexico to the United States each year puts billion dollars into criminal hands.
U.S. officials implementing the law, there are huge incentives for drug cartels to diversify their criminal activities to include trade in human beings. Human smuggling can be more lucrative the illicit drug trade and the benefits far outweigh risks for the cartels. There are several reasons for this. enforcement deals with another type of products – drugs are not hiding the fact that humans are capable. Consequently, smugglers can transport large numbers of foreigners illegally across the border once and meet with some success. Moreover, prosecutions for trafficking humans are extremely low. Typically, groups illegal aliens apprehended attempting to cross the border will not identify the smuggler group. For those smugglers that are identified and captured, most are simply returned in their country of origin. Thus, there is a revolving door for smugglers. As unlikely the smuggler will be prosecuted or she may opt for voluntary removal, face no criminal penalties and smuggle again. As smugglers charge anywhere from $ 2,000 to $ 60,000 per alien and face little or no consequences, if caught, the man smuggling is a business much less risky than drug trafficking.
Federal law enforcement Officials also report that the cartels are not only more engaged in the business of smuggling humans, they are also actively coordinating with existing human trafficking rings, using diversionary tactics to protect their charges. There is not uncommon for agreements to facilitate the crossing of more than fifty illegal aliens across US-Mexico border to divert resources from outside the Border Patrol an area they intend transporting large quantities of drugs across.
Criminal organizations are indeed extremely advanced, well equipped, and very adaptable to enforcement measures marshaled against them. In January 2006, ICE agents, as well as police officers and ATF agents in Laredo seized a Ministry enormous cache of weapons in Laredo, Texas. Authorities confiscated two completed gear improvised explosive (IED) materials for making thirty-three more, military style grenades, twenty-six grenade triggers, large quantities AK-47 and AR-15 assault guns, ammunition, £ 1.280, silent, machine gun assembly kits, 300 primers, bulletproof vests, police scanners, sniper scopes, narcotics and cash. These seizures illustrate the level of violence along the border, especially in Nuevo Laredo, Juarez and Tijuana.
Many in law enforcement believe that the manpower, resources and technology used by U.S. Law enforcement must be strengthened to fight against cartels highly organized and sophisticated. These criminal enterprises have money apparently Unlimited purchase the most advanced technology and weapons available. The cartels are able to break the encryption on both Border Patrol and Deputy Sheriffs radios. Watchmen for the cartels, using military quality equipment, are positioned at strategic points on the side U.S. border to movements to monitor the implementation of laws of the United States. In response, the cartels then move their goods accordingly. The cartels use automatic assault weapons, bazookas, grenades launchers and improvised explosive devices. In contrast, the U.S. Border Patrol agents are given .40-caliber Beretta
Not all illegal aliens are crossing the U.S. to find work. Enforcement officials indicate that there are people who cross the border who are forced to leave their country of origin because their criminal activity. These dangerous criminals fleeing the law in other countries and seek refuge in the United States. For For example, we know that many agents of the cartels in Mexico actually live in the USA. Information received by several agencies under the law indicates that these Crime live in our communities and they come to the United States to escape possibility of apprehension in Mexico. Crimes Institute conducted a violent period of 12 months of in-depth study of illegal immigrants who committed sex crimes and murders for the period January 1999 April 2006. This study shows clearly that the United States facing a dangerous threat, sexual predators who cross borders United States illegally.
The Institute analyzed 1,500 cases in depth, including serial rapes, serial murders, sexual Homicide and pedophilia committed by illegal immigrants. Police reports, public records, interviews with police and media reports have all been included. Offenders were Located thirty-six states, with most offenders were located in states with more number of illegal immigrants. California was ranked first, followed by Texas, Arizona, New Jersey, New York and Florida. Based on estimated population of 12 million illegal immigrants and the fact that young men account for most of this population than the general population of U.S. Institute concluded that sex offenders in the group of illegal immigrants are a higher percentage. ice reports and public records show sex offenders comprising 2% of illegal apprehended. Based on this 2% figure, which is conservative, Institute believes that There are about 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States. The study concluded, when is applied to ongoing illegal immigration at the border, these estimates translate to 93 sex offenders and twelve serial coming Sex Offender U.S. borders illegally every day. The 1,500 inmates in this study had a total of 5999 victims. Each sex offender averaged four victims. This puts the estimate for victimization numbers around 960,000 for the 88 months examined in this study. The violence of illegal aliens is not confined to border communities. Residents and law execution in the interior cities are also vulnerable to criminals crossing the border.
The number of aliens other than Mexican ("OTMs") illegally crossing the border increased at an alarming rate in recent years. Based on Border Patrol U.S. statistics, there were 30,147 OTMs apprehended in FY2003, 44,614 in fiscal 2004, 165,178 year 2005, and 108,025 for 2006. 210,027 in fiscal 2007. Most of them have been arrested along the border American Southwest. The huge increase in cattle over the border crossing, it is more difficult for Border Patrol Officers to easily identify and treat everyone, thus increasing the chances that potential terrorist could slip through the system. In addition, there is no Concrete mechanism for determining the number of cattle over bypass apprehensions and successfully enter illegally country. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pays particular attention to cattle over apprehended by the Border Police who are from thirty-five countries designated as "Special interest countries." According to Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar, special country interest have been "designated by our intelligence community as countries that people could export that could harm our country in the path of terrorism. " Although the majority of overall apprehensions produced by the Border Patrol occur in the Tucson sector in Arizona, the Texas border – especially the McAllen sector – far than the rest of the country and Special Interest OTM apprehensions Alien. Since September 11, 2001, DHS has reported a 501% increase in arrests along the Mexico-US border foreigners special interest.
The data indicate that each year hundreds of illegal aliens from countries known harbor terrorists or promote terrorism are routinely encountered and apprehended attempting to enter illegally United States between ports of entry. Recently, U.S. intelligence report that seven Iraqis were found in Brownsville Texas, in June 2006. In August 2006, an Afghan man was found swimming across the Rio Grande River in Hidalgo, Texas, 104 as recently in October 2006, seven Chinese apprehended in the region of Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Articles were found by the forces of law on the banks of the Rio Grande River and inland that indicate possible ties to a terrorist organization or a member of military units of Mexico. Jacket with patches from countries where Al Qaeda is known to operate was found in Jim Hogg County, Texas by the Border Patrol. The patches on the jacket of town, an Arabic military badge with one depicting a plane in flight on a building and heading towards a tower, and another showing an image a lion head with wings and a parachute emanating from the animal. The bottom of a patch and read "martyr," the way of eternal life " or "immortality."
Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar was asked by a journalist television station KGNS in Laredo, Texas, on the results of the investigation jacket. Chief Aguilar responded that the patches are not Al Qaeda, but countries where Al Qaeda was known to work.
According to the testimony ICE, September 8, 2004, ICE agents arrested Neeran Zaia and Basima Sesi. The smuggling organization headed by the man Zaia Specialized in smuggling Iraqi, Jordanian, and Syrian citizens and was responsible for traffic more than 200 foreigners throughout the investigation. The investigation has been opened when an informant Confidential familiar with the organization reported ongoing smuggling Activities by Zaia, who had been convicted of smuggling foreigners. Survey Tool revealed that efforts were aliens smuggled in from the Middle East areas assembly in Central and South America. Once in these staging areas, the conspirators responsible smuggling of aliens from these sites to United States or its territories. Members of Hezbollah, the terrorist organization based in Lebanon, have already entered into United States other our southwestern border. On March 1, 2005, Mahmoud Youssef Kourani pleaded guilty to providing material support to Hezbollah. Kourani is foreign illegal immigrants who were smuggled across the US-Mexico border after bribing a Mexican official consulate in Beirut for a visa to travel to Mexico. Kourani and a Middle East Eastern traveling partner then paid coyotes in Mexico to guide them in the United USA. Kourani established residence among the Lebanese expatriate community Dearborn, Michigan and began soliciting funds for terrorist Hezbollah's return Lebanon. He is the brother of the chief of military operations of Hezbollah in the south Lebanon.
Salim Boughader Mucharrafille, owner a cafe in Tijuana, Mexico, has been arrested for illegally smuggling more than two hundred Lebanese illegally into the United States, many of which have links with Hezbollah terrorists. Robert L. Boatwright, Assistant Patrol Agent's Chief of El Paso, Texas reported, "We have arrested people from countries that support terrorism … they were carefully reported and there was a huge amount of information collected from them. " The statements made by senior Mexican officials before and after September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks indicate that one or more Islamic terrorist organizations has sought to establish a presence in Mexico. In May 2001, former National Security in Mexico advisor and UN ambassador, Adolfo Aguilar Zinser, reported that "Spanish and Islamic terrorist groups are using Mexico as a refuge. " Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Robert Mueller has confirmed in his testimony "That there are individuals from countries that are al-Qaeda are known change their surname Hispano-Islamic survey names and obtaining false Hispanic identities, learning to speak Spanish and pretending to be Hispanic immigrants. These examples highlight the dangerous intersection between traditional transnational criminal activities, such as threats to human and drug trafficking, and more worrying for Security National. Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez summed up: "I dare say that at any time, day or night, you can get on a boat and cross back and forth between Texas and Mexico and not get caught. If smugglers can bring tons of marijuana and cocaine any time and can smuggle 20 to 30 people at a time, one can imagine it would be easy to put in 2-3 terrorists or their weapons mass destruction destruction across the river and not be detected. Chances of apprehension are very Slim. In addition, according to U.S. military officials and intelligence, Venezuela appears as a potential hub of terrorism in the Western Hemisphere, providing assistance to radical Islamists in the Middle East and other terrorists. General James Hill, commander of U.S. Southern Command, warned the United States face a growing risk from two terrorists from the Middle East Latin Relocating America and groups terrorists from the region. General Hill said groups such Hezbollah has established bases in Latin America. These groups benefit from smuggling hotspots, such as the tri-border region of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, and Venezuela's Margarita Island, to channel funds to terrorist groups worldwide. Venezuela is a support, including identity documents-that could be Useful to radical Islamist groups, say some U.S. officials. The Venezuelan government Thousands issued cedulas, the equivalent social security cards, to people places like Cuba, Colombia, and Middle Eastern nations that host foreign terrorist organizations. U.S. officials believe that the Venezuelan government has issued the documents to people who should not be done and some of these Cedulas could then be used to obtain Venezuelan passports and even American visas, which could allow the holder to evade immigration controls and to enter the United States. Recently, several Pakistanis were apprehended at the US-Mexico border fraudulent Venezuelan documents. "Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, has been well have spoken of Iran about uranium, " said a senior official was quoted by the Washington Times. Chavez made several travel to Iran and expressed solidarity with the hard-line mullahs in the country. He has hosted Iranian officials in Caracas, endorsed ambitions Tehran's nuclear and expressed support for the insurgency in Iraq. The Times reports Venezuela is also talking with Hamas sending representatives to Venezuela to raise money for the militant group Chavez elected Palestinian government is seeking to build an anti-US axis that also includes Fidel Castro's Cuba. "I'm on the offensive," Chavez said on Al-Jazeera television network, "because that attack is the best form of defense. We are conducting a offensive battle … . Given all that is happening in Chavez's Venezuela, some officials U.S. regret Terrorism is seen primarily as a Middle East problem and that the U.S. must begin to seek protection its southern flank. An intelligence official in the United States expressed concern that "counterterrorism issues are not pursued vigorously hemisphere. " Another intelligence official stated terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay are not questioned the connections to Latin America. Ultimately, when it comes to terrorism so close to American shores, "said the official," We do not even know what we do know. " Islamic radical groups that support Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamiya Al Gamat are all assets in Mexico and other Latin American countries. These groups generate funds through drug trafficking money laundering, and transactions weapons, millions of dollars each year via their multiple illicit activities. These cells back to the Middle East and extend to this hemisphere the sophisticated global support structure of international terrorism. While the threats to our nation from international terrorism are well known, least known threats arising from narco penetrate deeply into this country.
Federal entities under the law believe they apprehend approximately 10-30 percent of illegal aliens crossing the border. Intelligence officials American Southwest border, on the other hand, are less optimistic. To be sure, it is not clear how many illegal foreign of any nationality evade capture by law enforcement each year and succeed in entering the U.S. illegally. One thing, however, is known for certain – hundreds of people from countries known to harbor terrorists or promote terrorism are caught trying to illegally enter the United States along the land border, and the influx of immigrants and our porous border create various and abundant opportunities for concealment. Given the continued threat posed by al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations show the vulnerability of our borders – the need for immediate action to enforce our borders could not be more apparent.
The federal government has taken positive steps to secure its borders, but much remains necessary to fight against increasingly powerful sophisticated and violent criminal network who succeeded in smuggling illegal human or otherwise, in our countries. The growth of these criminal groups, along the border, and potential for terrorists to exploit the vulnerabilities they create, represents a true threat to national security of America. It is imperative that immediate steps be taken to strengthen security along our border with Mexico.
Thousands of Mexican soldiers were sent to cities and towns Mexican border, after many pleas from residents and local politicians. The Mexican troops arrived by troop transport plane C-130 Hercules military transport vehicles, combat helicopters, troop personal carries, pickups and Humvees with mounted machine guns .50 caliber. The Mexican army and police Federal now operates throughout the border region.
The Mexican soldiers are armed with combat American supplied M-16 rifles fully automatic. This latest action by Mexican President Calderon now places Mexican armed soldiers on the border of the United States with Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. These Mexican troop movement places more than 30,000 Mexican troops fight against the Mexican cartels throughout the country.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, many men are starting to get hints from their wives, fiancée’s, and girlfriends about what romantic gifts they would like to receive. What do you think of when the word “romance” is mentioned? For some, flowers, chocolates, hearts, and pearls all fall into this category. For others, soft music and champagne or wine are romantic. Basing your wedding around a romantic theme can be a sweet personalized declaration of your relationship. If you start your life off with romance, IT sets the tone for the rest of your marriage.
Color choices for a romantic wedding can be anything you choose, but classic colors like red, pink, white, Chocolate, or ivory are easiest to do. If you want to be a little more unique, consider picking a slightly different shade such as peach or mauve. Since weddings are by nature a romantic event, you should have a multitude of choices with hearts, champagne flutes, and even castles if you like.
A classically romantic fashion style includes ruffles, so consider choosing bridesmaid gowns with ruffles. Ribbons woven in their hair and heart picks added to their bouquets are both ways to add subtle touches of romance to your bridal party’s attire. Pearls would be the perfect jewelry choice no matter what color you choose for the dresses. For the groomsmen, roses that match your colors with lace instead of baby’s breath make a stunning boutonniere.
Tulle, twinkle lights, candles, and mirrors should all be incorporated into your decorations. Candles placed on top of mirrors with rose petals sprinkled here and there make a timeless and stylish table setting. Perhaps you could place the word “love” in different languages around the room or on your wedding program. A chocolate fountain is not only beautiful; it also serves as a functional part of your menu. What is more romantic than chocolate dipped strawberries? Another idea a Wedding Planner suggested is a bubble machine set behind your drink table to give the illusion of being in a glass of champagne. It would also be fun for your bridal party pictures.
If you choose to have a sit-down meal, consider choosing “romantic” foods such as oysters, avocados, basil, and foie gras. Three courses of asparagus were traditionally served to bridegrooms in 19th-century France at their “rehearsal dinner” because it “stirs up lust in man and woman.” For your favors, Jordan almonds are the classic choice. Almonds have been associated with fertility for centuries and so are coupled with romance.

Southwest & Western Wall Decor: A Rustic, Cozy Feeling
If you love the feeling of being rustic and cowboy-like around your home, then you will probably develop a strong liking for the Southwest or Western styles. This is the style that is prevalent in Arizona and New Mexico, with flairs of green cacti, red cacti flowers, browns, blues, corals and oranges.
This style may remind you of a log cabin in the Northwoods, or your summer lakeside home. With hints of wood and other earth elements, IT provides a great ambiance of warmth and comfort.
If you love wall decors and anything that you can hang to your home’s walls to make it more Southwest or Western looking, then here are some examples of Southwest wall decor.
The famous Kokopelli – Kokopelli is a fertility deity. He is considered to be a trickster and he represents music. He is very famous in Southwestern culture, thus wall decors featuring him are very popular, as well. He is the Anasazi Flute player, with feathers or some things sticking out of his head. Kokopelli can be seen in wall decors, paintings, rugs and even on stone.
Wall Clocks – Wall Clocks with flairs of different native styles and materials will absolutely make you fall in love with time checking.
Wrought Iron – There are a lot of designs that come in wrought iron, and you can use them both indoors and outdoors.
Hanging Ristras – These are dried chili’s both for storage and decoration, and are very popular in New Mexico. Nowadays, garlic can also be used as ristra decorations.
Art prints – Native art prints depicting Native Americans, potteries, horses & cowboys, and many other images can be hanged on your walls.
Wall coverings – Sometimes, even rugs are being hanged on walls to serve as coverings. Colorful quilts and other patterns can brighten up your room.
Rustic wall decors – made of metal, wood, clay and stone. They look rustic and earthy – definitely a great addition to your walls.
Southwestern Lamps – Southwest lamps will add a rustic Western-Southwestern look to any room.
Southwestern style cannot be exactly described by one specific ethnicity. It is a combination of the Wild West, European (particularly Spanish), Mexican and Native American. But of course, these styles all work together to give you that rustic southwest charm. It’s a style that is classic and never gets lost in time.
Its charm works like a tradition, something that all people know. From brick roofs to wooden wall panels to stringed chili’s in the kitchen to cactus flowers, it gives off an aura of warmth and welcome, which is probably why this kind of style is very popular among log cabins and even in some hotels.
Its earth colors seem to pull you in a warm place, where you just want to relax all day over a mug of beer, or snuggle on a rug in front of the fireplace as you look at your Southwest wall decor. It transports you to another realm where you can absolutely be at peace and be one with the earth.

Home Decorating is a very personal decision, different with every individual. Your home decor reflects your personal style
and individual quirks. If you’re having problems making a decision about your home decorating theme, consider a tuscany theme
for your home.
Tuscany style combines subtle elegance and simplicity while using a palette of earthy warm tones. Tuscany decorating comes from
the Tuscany Valley in Italy and is meant to bring the outdoors in. This great home decorating idea uses distinct materials to
help accomplish this goal. Tuscany style is unique as well as beautiful and cosy.
Textures are a big part of the Tuscany theme. IT involves the use of stone and primative tile for the flooring but wood or
laminate floors can also be added to the mix. Textured plaster for the walls in a warm color is also another important
ingredient in the big picture and here is where you can really be creative and add your personal stamp on a room. If you like
beams, you can add them to a tuscany styled room. They conjure up a warm, cozy and rustic feel.
Mosaicing a floor is another way to add charm to a Tuscany theme. Consider tiling with slate or mexican tile in your entry
way. It will really set the tone for your entrance into Tuscany decorating. Also mosaicing a table top in rustic tile, such
as again slate, terra cotta or travertine will add to the Tuscany decor. Partner it with a rod iron table bottom and you’ve
got a real Tuscany home.
Any home decorating theme that focuses on nature uses wood and the Tuscany style makes great use of wood. One example is
using large wooden beams. You can use the real thing or they now make “faux” wooden beams in different material including
styrofoam. Do a google search for faux wooden beams and you’ll be able to come up with some ideas. Tuscany home decor also
utilizes woden Furniture. It needs to look aged and you can accomplish this different colored stains. Although buying antique
furniture would really do the trick.
Tuscany decorating is based on a cultural heritage. Adding accessories can bring out the Tuscany Italian heritage.
Accessories that are homemade are common for this home decorating idea. Ceramic vases are a big thing in tuscany decorating,
especially those made of terra cotta. Terra cotta items is a running theme in Tuscany home decorating. Silver frames, silver
candlesticks and copper pots, or anything else copper are all common in the tuscany design. When I think of Tuscany, I think
of wine and grapes and cheese. Beautiful wine glasses, and, if you can find them, antique wine glasses would be a beautiful
addition to your tuscany decorating. Large glass jars filled with olives, vases filled with colorful flowers and, again,
anything terra cotta add to the ambiance of Tuscasy decorating.
Tuscany fabric is in a class all by itself. When using Tuscany fabric in this home decorating theme, look for fabrics made of
fibers from the banana tree, savannah and tobacco cloth, burlap and abaca fiber. These fabrics create a natural space and
enviromentt and are quite versatile for just about anything in your decorating project. Curtains, drapes, blinds, dividers,
screens, placemats, floormats, these can all be created from the various Tuscany fabrics because of their weight, density and
flexibility.
Decorating your home in the Tuscany style makes good use of colors in the red and yellow family, bright and muted. See if you
can find these colors in tassels and tie-backs to accent your drapes. You can also add ribbons in these colors and add them
to candlesticks, jugs, baskets and anything else you can think of. Any item or accessory which resembles the sea, earth or
forest make great additions to tuscany style home decorating. Color, texture, fabric and accessories will create a warm and
inviting feeling in any space in your home. Tuscany style is one of simplicity and nature and is a great home decorating
idea.

What is the technique for painting Furniture Mexican rustic?
As the firm. Http: / / www.elpasoimportco.com/index.php?pi=show_product&in=313652
Yeah, I agree with the previous poster. There were probably two shades of colors – one on the other, and the painter then used a technique to drag out the previous color. For a good effect on IT, however, you can use glaze. Then, drag a towel on color to get a "drag". If the colors are more faded, it would be called "distressing". But the picture you show here is dynamic and luminous.

Kiva Ladders Add Authenticity To Western Decorating
Kiva ladders or Wooden Indian log ladders are rustic accessories that work great for enhancing Native style in your home. While traveling or visiting the southwestern states you will undoubtedly notice that wooden log ladders are the most renown symbols of Native style artwork, used to create unique, rustic and southwest style home decorating.
Kiva ladders are decorative wood ladders usually created from pine poles that have been hand scraped. The ladder rungs are then fastened to the two long poles with rawhide string. The ladder is smaller at the top than IT is at the bottom, adding a dimension of height.
One interesting way to incorporate the rustic look and feel in your room, without actually decorating with pueblo designs, is to use the same primitive style, pueblo ladder or kiva log ladder. The ladders will add a subtle but unmistakable pueblo or southwestern look in the area. A kiva ladder also creates a wonderful way to showcase a few of your favorite southwest rugs or Indian blankets.
Other home decor items that work well with decorative pueblo ladders are Mexican style blankets, Indian pottery and drums, hand made dough bowls and rustic lamps with rawhide lamp shades. Ladders can also be used to emphasize beautiful patterns you may like such as the tree of life pattern or other village designs.
The use of the kiva ladder as a way to display trinkets and nick-nacks will bring to life the southwestern style in your interior decorating, add eye catching colors, and make the ladder a functional part of your home decor.
There is something very beautiful about village style dwellings made of adobe bricks with their wooden ladders on the roofs. This shape has become an icon in southwestern decorating and style. Many homes in New Mexico and Arizona are designed after the early pueblo style, and the kiva ladder is always present.
You can find pueblo designs on rugs, dolls, pottery, paintings, art, and rustic Furniture. And, the rustic log ladders have become popular in cabins, log homes and also anywhere people like native or southwestern style.
Use your imagination. There is no limit to how log ladders can be used. You can create a unique display or book shelf by using two ladders together and connecting them with boards in the middle. You most likely already have some throw rugs you can use and put a small table beside it or a Native Indian drum and you will create a one of a kind and eye catching design.
Some people also use kiva ladders to hang Indian blankets to wrap up in during those cool winter nights. You might use kiva ladders for hanging decorative blankets or afghans in your guest rooms when not in use.
Use kiva style Indian ladders in every room, in the same way or differently without it looking overly done. So, if you want a truly amazing Native style element to enhance your home decorating, think about using rustic Indian kiva ladders.
