good analysis, but...

I am in agreement that perhaps the policy itself may need to be reviewed, but until it is and until they change it, that's just the way it is right now. Just like I didn't agree with going into Iraq but it would be wrong to leave early. Once you're in a situation, you deal with it. If this is how the policy is set up now, you deal with it until voters organize and change the law the legal route. I agree, soldiers are trained to kill, not to apprehend. That's why it's called 'war'... the 'drug war'. In war people get killed. I would call this an unfortunate incident. The goat herder didn't know what he was shooting at and the soldiers didn't either. Why can he shoot, but they can't?! No one has answered that question...

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
