Drugbug (no, it's not a spin-off of that song by the vexatious fraternal trio)

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been permeating the forefront more frequently now as a member of President Obama's cabinet than she ever did as a presidential candidate. Her next stop: Mexico. She's due to visit "La ciudad de los Palacios" in a couple of weeks to further delve into the issue of drug violence. I read an article recently about two U.S. teens who were embroiled in the infamous Mexican Gulf Cartel. These two clubhoppers were eventually enlisted as hitmen for the gang notorious for its drug-trafficking. Some of the execrable crimes they committed are pretty much turning the "gore-o-meter" dial to a very morbid maximum... long story short, they're in the slammer.
