...and get KRGV Channel 5 News on ABC, check out their 6pm broadcast tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 11). My voice and picture will be part of a news story Farrah Fazal is doing on recent border violence there. If you can't catch it but want to see it, I'll be posting a link to the story/video after it airs.
UPDATE: Actually, I just found a link to a live feed for KRGV, in case you want to catch the broadcast real-time: http://bit.ly/6gYqvH
UPDATE: Here's the video...
Expert Says Cartel Leader’s Death Fueling Current Violence
Bear with the reporter; there are a few mistranslations from what I told her, especially her last statement about Tijuana. But overall, it's OK.

@Rey - No kidding! I told her that things in Tijuana weren't as bad as they were a couple of years ago. I also said I expected things to get worse after El Teo got picked up, but they really didn't. I think she took that to mean that nothing was going on there, as opposed to a reduced level of violence (which is what I meant).
