FT (Adam Thomson, “Drugs cartels targeting Mexico’s democracy, says intelligence chief,” 14 July ’08; BBC pickup here):

The head of Mexico’s intelligence service has warned that the country’s democratic institutions, including the national Congress, are under threat from powerful drugs cartels.

At some point, subverted governmental entities would make an announcement like this in order to undermine faith in the governmental entities they hadn’t penetrated yet. So, in the absence of detailed, reliable knowledge—an unavoidable condition in this context—which would you guess is more likely to be subverted, Congress or the national intelligence service?
