LocotoMail

Locojhon is a regular round these parts and always good for sending your humble scribe a smart but biting mail or two about all things LatAm. So instead of keeping the fun to myself this time, here's a mail he just sent in to IKN Nerve Centre minutes ago:

Wanna bet???


...that none of those from LatAm nations opposed to US hegemony will be found in the USA--even though the whole world knows they are here?

Like the ones who blew up the airliner; the corrupted ones who fled from Bolivia and Venezuela and other nations after a regime-change???

There are too many tales to be told if repatriated back to where the damage was done.

How about a reader contest, Otto--closest to the correct number the US turns over to others by the end of the operation?

My guess is zero.

WASHINGTON — The United States and several other countries have launched a new operation to hunt down and capture international fugitives wanted by Interpol in the Americas, US officials said Friday.

The initiative, called "Operation Far Away," is "an intelligence-driven operation designed to target, locate and arrest criminal aliens believed to be hiding in the United States and in other Western Hemisphere countries," US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.

The operation is expected throughout the month.

Interpol will coordinate the operation with participation from Bahamas, Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, Peru and the US territory of Puerto Rico.

In 2009, Interpol issued more than 5,000 "red notices" for wanted criminals or suspects.
