When Mexican freelance journalist and human rights activist Lydia Cacho published a book last year exposing a paedophile ring, she was warned by friends and colleagues that she would run into trouble.
It did not take long for their warnings to come true. She was arrested by the police, driven 900 kms to the state of Puebla, held for 30 hours, mistreated and threatened. Now that she is the target of the wrath of powerful Mexican businessmen and politicians, she is worried that the worst is yet to come.

I spend a lot of time reading and thinking about a bunch of atheists across the Pacific Ocean in China, but I spend scarcely no time trying to figure out the Catholic debacle just across the Rio Grande. I'm going to have to remedy that. If anyone has any recommended books about Mexico today and how it got to its present mess, please email me (email link on left).
