	Mexican drug commandos expand ops in 6 U.S. states - Sean Hannity Discussion
		WASHINGTON — The ultra-violent, U.S.-trained elite, Mexican paramilitary commandos known as the "Zetas," responsible for hundreds of murders along the border this year, have expanded their enforcement efforts on behalf of a drug cartel by setting up trafficking routes in six U.S. states.
		The original Zetas are former Mexican army commandos, some apparently trained in the U.S. by Army special forces to combat drug gangs.
		While originally there were 68, the Zetas have trained a second generation of commandos — many of them sons and nephews of those trained by U.S. military forces to combat drug trafficking in Mexico.

	washingtonpost.com: Slain Contractors Were in Iraq Working Security Detail
		The four men brutally slain Wednesday in Fallujah were among the most elite commandos working in Iraq to guard employees of U.S. corporations and were hired by the U.S. government to protect bureaucrats, soldiers and intelligence officers.
		The men, all employees of Blackwater Security Consulting, were in the dangerous Sunni Triangle area operating under more hazardous conditions -- unarmored cars with no apparent backup -- than the U.S. military or the CIA permit.
		Although most of their work is to act as bodyguards for corporate, humanitarian or government employees, they sometimes perform more precarious jobs that are inherently riskier -- escorting VIPs, doing reconnaissance for visits by government officials to particular locations.
