LINK El Salvador crackdown breaks the gangs – at huge cost to human rights | El Salvador | The Guardian
CNN says 2% of the population was arrested. AP says 1%. A benevolent dictator is the most effective government. The trouble is that the dictator might not be "your" dictator & the dictator seldom remains benevolent. The country is desperate after what we did or are doing to it by our failed drug policy & our past support for the death squads. Perhaps now there will be less Salvdoreanos fleeing their country & ease up on the border crisis.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Immediately upon walking in to my Vet's on 9/11 and seeing the live feed of the horror from NYC, I said, "Well, there go our civil rights".
Nothing I have seen since has convinced me otherwise....

The Patriot Act isn't.
Similar thing happened in the Phillipines not so long ago, except that the police killed anyone who was involved with drugs.

Yes. Men would jump on their motor bikes and go hunting for drug related people. Under Marcos Jr. this has ended.....I hope.
