A Student Massacre In Mexico (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

If you thought mass graves and torture were just Islamic State issues these days – far away and unthinkable – look closer to home. To Mexico. Last month, just a hundred miles south of Mexico City, 43 young college students from the countryside were rounded up and “disappeared” in a town where officials and drug lords are all wrapped up together. All kinds of bodies have now been found. Burned. Face peeled. Eyes torn out. Even for Mexico, this is too much. Too far. The country is in uproar. This hour On Point: the inside story of the outrage in Iguala, and what’s wrong in Mexico. /Tom Ashbrook
