U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Quits

The U.S. ambassador to Mexico has resigned because of comments he made in leaked diplomatic cables criticizing Mexico's war against drugs, officials said.  U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Saturday night said she accepted the resignation of Carlos Pascual "with great regret," the Washington Post reported.  In diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks, Pascual called Mexico's army "risk averse" in dealing with drug traffickers.
