One of your diplomats was recently caught pilfering BlackBerries from his American counterparts. So what else have you been stealing, huh?

Dear President Calderon,
Hi!
You don’t know me but I’m just a typical American living in a typical American town. I love God, guns, and apple pie and, despite what Senator Obama might lead you to believe, I am not “afraid” of immigrants at all. I wanted to get that straight before we began because this story has me very upset.
I am writing today to express my utter shock and outrage regarding the actions of your “diplomat” Rafael Quintero Curiel, who was handling logistics and doing media advance work at a conference with President Bush in New Orleans recently. As you may well know, it is common practice to leave cell phones, BlackBerries, and other electronic devices outside of the room when high-level meetings are taking place, a security measure that only makes sense since so many devices can record without being detected
It seems the Americans noticed they were missing their BlackBerries when they left the meeting, and the Secret Service, after viewing tape of a surveillance camera, identified your “diplomat” Rafael Quintero Curiel as the culprit. Curiel by this time was at the airport preparing to abscond with said BlackBerries back to Mexico, where he no doubt would have sold them at a flea market in Tijuana or turned them over to the Mexican intelligence service, known in English as the Center for Research on National Security. I didn’t realize that their job was to research the national security of the United States of America by robbing our officials of their private property.
When the Secret Service intercepted him at the airport, he first denied taking the BlackBerries. But when shown the damning DVD, he admitted it and turned the devices over. Senor Curiel then claimed he was covered under “diplomatic immunity” and flew away with the Mexican delegation.
At this point I must say that, given the level of corruption in the Mexican government at all levels and the fact that Mexico can’t secure its northern border enough to stop the drugs and people flowing north and the guns flowing south, the “Mexican intelligence service” may very well be an oxymoron. Then again, maybe the “Mexican intelligence service” is also very corrupt and knows just where the drugs go out and the guns come in and are bribed accordingly. Of course, it helps when you have allies here in the U.S., with the mainstream media and the ACLU, which fight on your side, ignoring the corruption and double standards employed by Mexico in its immigration policies.
