    You framing the issues in terms of the CIA is dismissive of broader issues that these protest are taking on.

    The article wasn’t about whatever grassroots grievances Mexicans may have; it was about astroturfing.

    If you want to have a discussion about broader issues in Mexico then post about them.

      I am willing to believe that was not your intent, but you should take some self reflection of how your writing is being interpreted if that is the case.

      Well, I guess I was wrong.
