Here’s a new twist in the violent drug war. A U.S. soldier is involved in this killing. Then again, nothing should come as a shock at this point. Border patrol agents are on the take. Mexican police are getting wiped out.

EL PASO, Tex. – A U.S. Army soldier is one of three men facing murder charges in the killing of a Juárez cartel member who was a government informant.
The soldier was in a camouflage uniform as he and two other men were escorted by homicide detectives and uniformed officers out of El Paso Police Headquarters shortly before 1 a.m. today to be booked into the El Paso County Jail.
The handcuffed men walked out quietly. One of them shook his head no when asked if he had anything to say. Another tried to hide his face from a video camera.
