CIA should have intel on all these guys and we should have drones flying constantly through this country backed up by seal teams to do quick kill missions. A few months and no more cartels.

The third course took place in the United States, in the state of Arizona during the fall of 2008 for a period of 12 weeks. The training focused on prevention, detection, neutralization and destruction of terrorist threats, be they objects, people, or civilian groups.

He was also taught to manage physical and psychological crises. Also how to “scientifically and psychologically torture the enemy, to not leave any marks or evidence.” In all, the course was taught by bilingual Hispanic officers of the navy and army of the United States.
