The report is based on a 1986 message from the U.S. embassy in Mexico City to the director of the FBI that was declassified on August 12 following freedom of information requests by Jusionyte and Cedillo. The story by CrashOut and the document have been cited widely in Mexican media, which Bartlett mentions in his reply.
