The Post is just quoting Mexican officials, the same ones who initially said it was a build up of swamp gas. Tinfoil hat? I figured the official release of "swamp gas" immediately following the event was enough for skepticism.

I guess I have a different perspective on Mexico than some. My brother was working as a Teacher in Monterrey the year the swine flu and for weeks before Mexico released any medical data they had large white tents setup in soccer fields testing people. Then magically once the vacation period ends they then release the information. For a country whose only economy is Tourism, drugs, and 3rd world manufacturing I wouldnt put it past them to lie about the events of one of their most important economic engines.

He worked at a school where the weekly paycheque was an envelope full of cash with no reciept (18 months later still no reciept or income tax form of any kind) so you can see how I might be skeptical about a 3rd world country explanation of what happened.

I would go to Mexico, I just consider it on the same security level as say Columbia. If you are going to leave the comforts of North America dont expect Mexico to be any safer than anywhere else just because it happens to border the US.
