...arrested was McCaffrey's counterpart in Mexico, General Jesus Gutierrez Rebollo, a man of reputed honesty and heroism whose appointment only 10 weeks ago McCaffrey had praised effusively. That image began to fade on Feb. 6, when an informant told the Mexican Defense Secretary, General Enrique Cervantes, that Gutierrez was living in a luxury apartment "whose rent cannot be paid with the salary of a public official," a statement from Cervantes' office later said.
