A US anti-kidnapping expert who has negotiated the release of dozens of hostages in Latin America has been abducted by gunmen in Mexico. Felix Batista, a Cuban-American from Miami, was kidnapped as he stepped outside a restaurant to answer a phone call in the northern city of Saltillo. Drug gangs are blamed for hundreds of kidnappings in Mexico each year. More than 5,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence between rival cartels this year.

Before this fellow ends his term and gets the hell out of there, expect all sorts of law breakers to get away with it without punishment. Do you still remember Enron's boss that all of sudden "died" on the day that he was being sent to jail?
