Several economists have argued that humans are less selfish than we thought and there could be a much greater role for the state in guiding the economy. However, these arguments are based on questionable research.

Mexico admits Zapatista drug report untrue

category down | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Thursday June 23, 2005 20:20author by MC 23 - IMG Report this post to the editors

Mexicos Dirty War continues

The Mexican government admitted on Thursday that a military report of marijuana plantations in Zapatista rebel territory that raised tensions in the state of Chiapas was not true.

A Defense Ministry report on Monday had said almost 200 soldiers destroyed 44 marijuana plantations in Chiapas in three drug raids on rebel soil last week.

But government spokesman Ruben Aguilar acknowledged the raids were not in areas controlled by the Zapatistas.

“The three municipalities where they found those 44 plantations are not in the Zapatistas' zone of influence but near them,” he told journalists.

Zapatistas and their supporters abandoned dozens of the villages they control this week after elusive leader Subcomandante Marcos announced the group was holding consultations on “a new step in the struggle.“

It was unclear what direction the rebels, who emerged in 1994, might take. There has been no fighting in the region for years.

i suggest that this article be appended to our EZLN on red alert article/file.
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=70351
For in truth the exact boundaries of the territories of indiginous neo-zapatistas in chiapas is not yet dileneated for the irish reader, and an article without source that suggests an earlier statement by the federal army of the united states of mexico is untrue belongs in its proper place.

unless there are sources pending?
