Mexican police find 19 bodies in remote mountain canyon

By MARK STEVENSON

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Authorities have found what they believe are at least 19 bodies tossed into a deep, narrow canyon in the violence-plagued southern state of Guerrero, two Mexican officials said Tuesday.

The federal officials said eight of the bodies had been partially burned, and two more were found in pieces. Authorities were not ruling out the possibility of finding more bodies at the site.

They said the bodies appear to have been dumped — not buried — between a month and a year-and-a-half ago.

They were found in a gorge about 1,500 feet (500 meters) deep in a mountain area near the town of Chichihualco, west of the Guerrero state capital of Chilpancingo.

This is a beautiful region, but not one where you'd want to be tortured, burned, chopped apart, and murdered.

Frank Gaffney should weigh in on this one. He is the Bush Administration Assistant Secretary of Defense who famously said "Just because there is no evidence doesn't mean it isn't true".

Currently he advises both Ted Cruz and Donald Trump on national security.

You have got to see this guy to believe someone like this actually exists. What is even more astounding is that he is a widely praised terrorism expert to right wing figures.

The bodies of their enemies. They film the whole thing from the interrogation to the very end. Their Spanish is heavily Mexican accented.
