Report: U.S. Deploys Drones in Mexico 
--------------------------------------



The New York Times is reporting the U.S. government has begun sending
drones into Mexican territory in an effort to monitor the drug trade.
The secret program began with a formal agreement between President Obama
and Mexican President Felipe Calderon last month. Administration
officials say drones helped capture suspects in the recent killing of a
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Mexico.
