It's been 25 years since DEA agent Enrique Camarena was captured,
tortured and slain.
Camarena, the man we honor each year with Red Ribbon Week, was working
in Mexico, fighting a Mexican drug cartel.
The cartel won. A quarter-century later, they're still winning.
They're winning because Americans have to have their drugs. And as
long as there's a demand, the drug lords will find a way to make a
fortune meeting it.
