Mexican Government Using Interrogation as Propaganda

Senior Los Zetas drug cartel member Jesus "El Mamito" Rejon was arrested July 3, and an interview conducted as a part of the interrogation process was videotaped and released for public consumption two days later. The video shows Rejon cooperating with Mexican authorities. However, it did not contain actionable intelligence, and it is very clearly a propaganda tool for Mexican authorities struggling to convince a disgruntled public of the utility of the war against drug cartels.
