We are now pushing for extradition of this guy. He has been locked up for 28 years and mostly out of the game. 60 years old.....think he amounts to much of a threat? What about with other Drug Lords. Any operations he had have been taken over. Thoughts upon the matter?
My thoughts are this, the guy is still a threat. When he went to jail his cartel did fall apart in the way that it dissolved, yet at the same time it branched into other cartels, like the Tijuana and Juarez cartel and of course the already forming Sinaloa. From what I've been hearing they are all close family organizations and may be willing to return control and he is vowing to take out Los Zetas, which has really taken off in recent years. Could be hearsay or not. Either way, the guy still has some control and it will be extremely interesting to see what happens next. They don't call him "El Número Uno" for nothing.
Heya AW. :2wave: Yeah I caught it.....and to top it off they released another that was involved with the taking out that DEA agent. He was responsible for coordinating with the Colombian Cartels.

Makes you wonder what is going on behind closed doors. Just going to have to watch and wait to see how this effects everything. This may be huge for both the US and Mexico, depending on which way it goes.
Hiya AW.It looks like now 2 others involved in that case will be released. Moreover not only will we have to be concerned. But even moreso now. Especially if this is the way Nieto is going to act. Think just how the rest of our relations are going to be with Mexico. All of these guys will be in touch with Guzman. If Quintero isn't there already.
According to Mexico.....they have no clue where he is.
Felix Gallardo's lawyers are widely expected to follow suit, in a case that has worried the White House, which on Sunday said it feared Caro Quintero's release could result in others involved in Camarena's killing being freed.
"We have seen reports that another individual connected to Camarena's killing could also be released," White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said, reading a statement.
The three aging drug lords hold a special place in Mexican narcotics lore. They were the leaders of the Guadalajara cartel, a forerunner of the Sinaloa cartel, which is led by Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, the country's most-wanted drug kingpin.
Pena Nieto, who took office in December, has shifted the focus away from capturing cartel bosses to tackling violent crimes such as extortion and kidnapping.
The shift has raised concerns that Mexico may cooperate less with U.S. security forces in the fight against the cartels.
"Pena Nieto has been slowly pulling back from the relationship the two countries had under Calderon, so I don't really see Pena Nieto responding with anything other than, 'This is our business and we'll let you know if we need anything,'" Longmire said.....snip~

Interesting to note a top leader in the Gulf Cartel was recently caught. So in the past couple weeks they've taken down some key members of the Gulf and Zetas cartels( which were one time one and the same) while releasing top Sinaloa members, which are their enemies. Hmmm...
