And so a lot of their techniques, which is why it's interesting that it took so long to declare Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, because a lot of their techniques, whether it comes to gathering intelligence or infiltrating the US or Canada, and the way they are able to manage public perception of themselves, it completely matches that of traditional terrorist groups.
