This Is Good

From Fox News: U.S. and Mexican authorities captured the world's most powerful drug lord at a hotel in Mazatlan, Mexico on Saturday after a massive search through the home state of the man whose global organization is the leading supplier of cocaine to the United States.
Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, 56, looked pudgy, bowed and much like his wanted photos when he arrived in Mexico City from Mazatlan in Sinaloa state. He was marched by masked marines across the airport tarmac to a helicopter waiting to whisk him to jail.
Guzman was arrested by the Mexican marines at 6:40 a.m. in a high-rise condominium fronting the Pacific. He was caught with an unidentified woman, said one official not authorized to be quoted by name, who added that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Marshals Service were "heavily involved" in the capture.
Guzman faces multiple federal drug trafficking indictments in the U.S. and is on the DEA's most-wanted list. His drug empire stretches throughout North America and reaches as far away as Europe and Australia. His cartel has been heavily involved in the bloody drug war that has torn through parts of Mexico for the last several years.  http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/02/22/drug-lord-el-chapo-guzman-captured-in-mexico-report-says/
You have to give credit when credit is due: The Obama administration did good by getting this thug and hopefully this will curb some deaths and curtail some drugs coning into the country.
