A Mexican officer assigned to guard President Felipe Calderón was accused of leaking information to drug cartels in exchange for bribes, training hit men through a private security firm, and supplying military weapons to groups like the Zetas, according to a U.S. diplomatic cable.

"Mid-level Mexican Army Major Arturo González Rodríguez was arrested the week of December 21, 2008, for allegedly assisting Mexican drug trafficking organizations for ($100,000 U.S. dollars) a month.

"Based on statements from a former cartel member turned witness code-named 'Jennifer,' PGR (federal attorney general's office) has accused González of passing information related to the activities and travel plans of Mexican President Felipe Calderón to the Arturo Beltran Levya organization (ABLO).

"González also stands accused of leaking military intelligence, training ABLO hit men through a private security company and supplying military weapons to various (drug trafficking organizations), including los Zetas."

I'm sure Gonzales got the "military weapons" that he supplied to the zetas and others, across the border at wal-mart. :eyes:

1. Yep, the federal government is sending military grade weapons to Mexico

which is getting lots of people killed. They then blame US gun stores and order ATF to walk guns to mexico so it can look like it's valid.
