"Silver or Lead?" When the Kingpin Comes Calling

When a drug cartel offers the choice between a bribe and a bullet, how do honest law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges answer the question "Silver or lead?" This ABC News program explores the problem of corruption through the stories of drug lord Joaquin Guzman’s escape from a penitentiary secretly controlled by his own organization and the betrayal and murder of federal anti-narcotics investigator José Patino. President Vicente Fox, Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda, and others pull no punches as they consider both the extent of corruption and the need for greater accountability on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border.
