The samples I have are too limited to draw conclusions. They've been stripped of To and From fields. And so there's no context. There's also a funny thing about them. They use slang that is very common in guatemala but you never hear in mexico. That's not conclusive, but it is odd.
I'd need more to go on. If you guys want to provide other emails...something more, I'd agree not to publish them, of course.

Are you guys planning to say anything more about the sample e-mails the
Mexican Anons provided? If so, give me a heads up, as Gawker is still
claiming that they don't exist even though you've been quoted by Atlantic
saying you've gotten a couple. Adrian Chen over at Gawker replied "I'll
believe them when I see them" when I pointed this out - and made no mention
of any of this in a follow-up piece, which is among the most dishonest
things I've contended with in media thus far.

Well, the ex-military folks associated with jester who've been posting info
on my family, old addresses found my current Dallas address, so I figured
it would make sense to leave for a while.

I don't think I can say that, but perhaps she will.

In this case, the person who was released was not known to the Zetas
to
be
the person in question. As far as proof, I don't know to what extent
it
will be forthcoming as there are very good reasons for details not to
be
released, as you can perhaps imagine. If certain media outlets
speculate
that this was made up, there's little we can do about it at this
point,
and
personally I'd be more worried about that if the U.S. media paid any
attention on those occasions when I've put forward proof of such
things
as
Romas/COIN.
Here's the e-mail address of the Mexican woman I've been chiefly
working
with on this: anonymous.itzela@gmail.com

A lot of media types are surprised the Zetas released the Anonymous
kidnap
victim in Veracruz. The New York Times reporter in DF is
speculating
flat
out that it was staged or a hoax. The reason is simple: no one has
ever
known the Zetas to fold in a confrontation or release a target that
was
meant send a message. Reason two: no one filed a denucia with any
authority
about the kidnapping...no family member or relative, no colleague.
Lots
of
requests now for some evidence the kidnapping happened. What do you
think?
Second question: Is the info on the Zetas still going to be
released. I
saw a timeline of Friday or Saturday. But if the Zetas met the
demands,
is
Anonymous now forced to stick to its side of the bargain...ie don't
release
the info?

Having now spoken to those who are running it, I'm now supporting
OpCartel, which is a go and which will continue to utilize the
info
on
Zeta
associates, which itself comes from reliable documentation and is
being
very thoroughly vetted.
