I think Counterpunch did an important thing by circulating this famous memo, but the danger of this sort of muckraking is always that it focuses too much attention on individuals and away from systemic forces. You don't need a memo to know that Wall Street wants to see the Zapatistas crushed - all of Wall Street, and the Mexican elite as well, not just Chase and Roett. Let's give a moment's thought to Goldman Sachs, former home of Treasury Secretary Bob Rubin, present home to the ubiquitous Jorge Mariscal, and the biggest foreign underwriter of Mexican securities from 1992-4.
