Looks like they re-captured El Chapo. Do you believe it? Time to send him to a USA supermax. What do you think?

Can he be sent there while awaiting trial? I don't think so.

The more expedient solution would be for Mexico to grant bail, and then drop him off in the middle of the territory of his competitors...and sort of let nature take its course.

It may just be a matter of national pride, you know, we (supposedly) don't need outsiders to keep our prisoners.
It will be more embarrassing when he escapes again

I think this line may be a contender for the Pulitzer prize, what do you think?

Did you guys see the 60 Minutes interview of Spicoli Penn on Sunday? It had a feel like the reporter interviewing him was running him over with a truck.
