We're the Only Ones Translating Enough

In a move to crack down on weapons from the U.S. that are funneled to drug cartels, police in Latin America will soon be able to track American gun sales in their own language, despite privacy concerns by gun-rights advocates. [More]

Oh, but don't worry:

Under U.S. law, such information is private and can be seen only by law-enforcers doing legitimate investigations.

Say--under their own national laws, aren't all police (even secret ones) "law-enforcers"?

And isn't that where groups like Los Zetas sprang from?

And when even the Mexican army doesn't know which police are trustworthy, how the hell is some damn BATFU bureaucrat supposed to determine it's "legitimate investigation"?

Yeah, give a group with known ties to murderous narcoterrorists personal information on American gun owners in the name of fighting crime.

I'd say "unbelievable" if I really meant it. But when it comes to "Only Ones," I'm getting pretty tough to surprise.
