For me, paranoia runs too deep. It's just too easy, too convenient an end to the story -- the Bad Man dead with no chance to implicate those who helped him. The gov't looks good, both at home and in the US; more money for the War on Drugz Escobar got out of jail once; he had no reason to fear going back to jail for a while. I'm betting that the body in that casket is not his, that this is his way of "retiring" from the game, and that he cut a deal with the gov't to do it. Note that his family was given protective custody by the gov't less than a week ago. We probably won't know the truth for years. --Alan
