Conroy: Judge's Ruling Reveals Truth of Drug War

Dear Colleague,

Throughout the past several years of Narco News reports on the 'House of Death' cover-up, a familiar pattern has emerged in regards to how the US War on Drugs is fought. Continuing his series on this case, Bill Conroy reports that this recent ruling regarding families of the victims of the 'House of Death' sheds light on the reality of the War on Drugs and the abuses taking place in its name.

Conroy writes:

"The families of the House of Death murder victims filed their lawsuit in December 2005 in federal court in El Paso, Texas. They accused the government and certain of its agents of constitutional violations and negligence stemming from actions, or lack of actions, which resulted in their loved ones being tortured, murdered and buried in the backyard of a house in Juarez, Mexico.

"The federal judge in the case, Frank Montalvo, essentially adopted the government's arguments in the House of Death case wholesale in issuing his ruling earlier this week.

"...Judge Montalvo ruled, in essence, that the families could not establish legal claims under federal and state of Texas negligence statutes because either those laws didn't apply to the murder victims since the crimes occurred in Mexico, or, in the alternative, because the government owed no duty to protect the victims from the acts of third parties - such as the Juarez-based narco-trafficking cell that operated the House of Death."
