Jose Bladimir Antuna, a Mexican reporter who often reported on violent drug crime, was found dead in the Northern Mexican state of Durango yesterday, shortly after he was kidnapped. Antuna’s strangled body was discovered alongside a note claiming he had been killed for giving information to the Mexican military, according to the Associated Press.

To the Editor:

Re: “Relax, Mr. President, You’re Falling Out of Touch,” Opinion, April 3.

As one of the online audience, it behooves Obama to remember that the ONLY reason I voted for him was the fact that he promised “change.” I thought the “change” Obama promised would mean ending a lunatic drug crusade that Obama said was an “utter failure.” If Obama is going back on that promise myself a lot of others will no longer support him. The drug reform community represents a large segment of Obam’s support and he better not forget that. We were very active in getting him elected, but that will cease if he ignores our demand for a sane drug policy. Obama should never forget that drug prohibition has been a Republican policy since 1904 and they will never budge.
