That victim is this country if the article in today's Observer is true (and it sounds that way to me). Basically, the article, which is based on court records, accuses the Immigration and Customs Executive (ICE) branch of Homeland Security of turning a blind eye towards an informant who was killing people for a drug cartel in Mexico. Further, a Deputy Attorney General and the US Attorney for Western Texas are also accused of not stopping the employment of this killer and trying to silence any government agent who tried to make the public aware of this.
It is a damning indictment of the futility of the government's decades long war on drugs, which seems to engender a loss of ethics and morality.
