Just go after the Big guys and leave those sucker mules alone. It's such a waste of energy, please get the real "criminals".

Those guys should be waterboarded to discover who their suppliers were.

Are you sure it's Damasco and not Damascus? (Just askin')
Well, I'm not in objection to them detaining burriers, but those guys are just pawns in the bigger scheme of it all.
They regenerate like cockroaches. If you want to kill a weed you have to pull it up by its root.

The Government IS going for the BIG guys. But if you want them let a mule pass with 20kgs of cocaine enrute to Europe and say "Oh poor Dutch fool!" Why is he to be punished. Then you must have your head put on backwards.
Ofcourse these couriers have to be punished hard...and maybe by cutting a deal for reduced scentense the Government will be able to dissolve the drugring - you cannot hunt the BIG guys if you do not know where to look. Obviously you need to track back the narc to get the producers and the traders.

Cokes the shit, it's a choice only you can make...no one else, so just legalize it. Anyways their wouldent be a market for it anymore once it's legal, their would be no more killing, it would be sold by a clerk in wallmart, not a man witha gun.

British woman in Peru drug arrestA 20-year-old British woman has been arrested in Peru for allegedly carrying 4kg (8lb) of cocaine in her luggage.
![]()
Rachel Franklin was stopped as she was waiting to board a plane to Madrid, Spain, at Lima's Jorge Chavez airport on Sunday at 1700 local time (2200GMT).
Miss Franklin has not yet been charged, but if found guilty of drug smuggling she could face up to 15 years in jail.
The British Embassy said it was aware of the situation and a staff member has visited the Southampton woman.
Peru is the second largest producer of cocaine in the world.
Cocaine production
Drug smuggling is common, but most of the people intercepted are Latin Americans, not Europeans.
The country's cocaine production has risen in recent years, prompting growth in the presence of drug-trafficking cartels.
The investigating team said the woman had flown from Cusco on the same day and was intercepted before she began boarding for a flight to Madrid from where she was due to take a connecting flight to London.
Captain Juan Carlos Miranda, from the police anti-drug division who is heading the investigation, said Miss Franklin would not be formally charged until an initial 15-day investigation was completed.
He added Miss Franklin was being held at police headquarters during the 15-day investigation period.
Travelling alone
If formally charged, the Briton is likely to be held at the Santa Monica women's' prison in the Chorrillos district of the capital, Lima.
The investigating team said Miss Franklin, who was travelling alone, had arrived in Peru on 15 November and had travelled to the historic city of Cusco, Peru's most popular tourist destination.
It is not clear whether anyone else was involved in the alleged smuggling attempt.

14 September, 2009 [ 08:26 ]Carlos,
one has to question your pretend of love for Peru when you denounce the foreign carriers (and I see no problem with denouncing them) but then say nothing about local growers, manufactuers distributers, carrier recruiters, who are surely mostly all Peruvian.
You once again fail Peru, a traitor to your own country by failing to do that.# AAS says :
