    Frustrated traffickers target agents

    This is older news but found the numbers on assaults on BP officers interesting. Very high.

    Frustrated traffickers target agents


    By Jerry Seper
    THE WASHINGTON TIMES


    Smugglers of drugs and aliens, desperate to protect their illicit cargoes, have reacted with increased violence against U.S. Border Patrol agents involved in a new law-enforcement initiative aimed at gaining "operational control" of the Arizona-Mexico border.
    Eighty-nine agents have been assaulted so far this year in an escalating series of attacks by the smugglers â€â€

    Assaults against Border Patrol agents so far this year are coming at a rate of one every 2½ days. Last year, the Border Patrol registered 115 attacks on agents.
    I think that it is about time to have some well armed troops there.

    And why not? These attackers are certainly well-armed. It's nonsensical to place the BP in such danger so often.
