House of Death Update

Jesse Hyde writes in the Dallas Observer about the Juarez House of Death case, including new details on why Lalo, the informant who participated in the killings of over a dozen people, was kept on the payroll of the Department of Homeland Security for so long - along with some evidence that one of the victims, Luis Padilla, was actually an informer, unbeknownst to his own wife. In a normal administration, this would be a big scandal. Of course, with the three-ring circus we're all witnessing right now, someone on the government payroll going on a murder spree is mere background noise.
