Who these people are is only one party in this video who needs to be identified as culpable, so does the US government, or at the very least, the Bush Administration. Whether this is an American or ex-patriot or not, one thing is clear the passivity in our attitude toward torture, as a government body and even as the general American public (thanks, in part, to the corporate media), has allowed otherwise civilized countries to consider using this as an acceptable interrogation tactic, which is extremely dangerous in a country like Mexico where government and police corruption is already widespread. If Americans only knew what was going on below their border right now. Just as our crime rates grow as the economy plummets, so too does crime in already chaotic areas that are overrun by drug dealers, criminals, murders, and corrupt officials in some sections of Mexico (Ciuadad Juarez, a border town, comes to mind). We think Iraq is a free for all for white collar criminals, well we have another dangerous version that we use and abuse right below us. It's no wonder people like Dobbs and Buchanan are so scared shitless of what immigrants might do to them because it's people like them who have allowed this sort of thing to happen in the first place by vilifying and degrading an entire country in the eyes of some naive Americans.
