The search in Mexico for the 43 students who vanished 10 months ago has turned up 129 other bodies in 60 graves across the state of Guerrero, according to Mexico's attorney general.

Reaction to the news has been predictable outrage, along with renewed charges that the government is unwilling to properly investigate the more than 23,000 reported disappearances in Mexico since 2006, or to identify the 15,000 bodies that have been found.
