MONTERREY, Mexico (Reuters) – Security forces found the body of a slain mayor on Wednesday near Mexico's richest city, days after he was abducted by hitmen in the latest attack on a public official from increasingly bold drug cartels.

President Felipe Calderon, who has staked his presidency on a faltering drug war, condemned the "cowardly assassination" of Edelmiro Cavazos, the mayor of a town on the outskirts of Monterrey, an industrial center with close U.S. business ties.

"The murder of Edelmiro is an outrage and forces us to redouble our efforts to fight these cowardly criminals," Calderon wrote in a Twitter update.

Cavazos, a 38-year-old, U.S.-educated mayor from Calderon's conservative National Action Party, was found dumped on a rural road early on Wednesday outside his town of Santiago, blindfolded with his hands tied.

Of course they do.  American voters are growing more and more unyielding with regards to importing the Dim'Rat's new slave labor force up here, so the Dim'Rats at Gub'mint Motors are going to take the work to their slave labor force.

They probably will. They already run the Country of Mexico.
Calderon is just a stick figure.
