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?
