Earl Anthony Wayne will serve as the new Ambassador to Mexico, taking the post vacated since the resignation of Carlos Pascual. Pascual resigned earlier this year after WikiLeaks cables disclosed his critique of Mexican authorities and President Felipe Calderón. Earl Anthony Wayne most recently served as deputy ambassador to Afghanistan. Wayne, a California native, earned a Political Science degree in Political Science from Berkeley as well as Master’s degrees in Political Science and Public Administration from Stanford, Princeton and Harvard.

U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual Resigns Over Wikileaks Cables

U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual resigned today, becoming the first US Diplomat to resign due to Wikileaks “Cablegate” and yet another potential story for inclusion in the Wikileaks Movie. Coming off the heels of P.J. Crowley resignation, Pascual leaves his post as diplomat to Mexico in order ease political tensions between Mexico and the United States stemming from a series of Wikileaks cables released last fall. These cables describe a dysfunctional and corrupt security organization in Mexico and low levels of collaboration. Mexican President Felipe Calderón is said to have been disturbed and offended, particularly by remarks focusing on the demeanor and abilities of the Mexican military and security. More recently President Calderón has been publicly denouncing Ambassador Pascual in the press, something which no doubt led to his resignation. The “Resignation of Pascual” set amidst scenes of political tension, border disputes and drug war violence may bring a dose of reality into the theaters, especially for movie goers in the United States and Mexico.
