THE WEEK, Page 14NATIONEt Cetera
WHICH DOCTOR?
Although the kidnapping of Humberto Alvarez Machain, a
Guadalajara gynecologist, severely strained U.S.-Mexican
relations, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that he could be tried
in Los Angeles. Now, though, he has been freed by District Judge
Edward Rafeedie, who ruled that there was no direct evidence
that Alvarez participated in the 1985 murder of Drug Enforcement
Administration operative Enrique Camarena. Alvarez admitted
being in the house where Camarena was tortured and killed, but
a Mexican policeman reported to the American FBI that another
physician had also been there. Mexican President Salinas hailed
Alvarez's release as a "correction of an insult to law."
