Why didn't Hector do this?
Post Body

When he went to the DEA office to lure Gus to Casa Tranquila, all of the Salamancas were dead at that point. Hector had nothing to lose by actually telling the DEA about his crimes, and Gus's, as he would have been returned to Casa Tranquila anyway. And even if his attempt to kill Gus was unseccesful, Gus would still have been brought down (kind of like an extra layer of "insurance" in Hector's plan). Was it just because of his hatred of Hank and the DEA? Or is there something I'm missing?

I see versions of OPs question a lot and i don't think it's appreciated how dangerous it can be for someone to be labeled a rat or a snitch. Growing up, I watched a lot of Lockup on MSNBC, a show that profiled various prisons throughout the US. And from prison to prison, if a person was thought to be a rat, it was a death sentence.

Look at how Jack reacted when he and his crew watched Jesse's confession tape. Jack was ready to kill Jesse right there. And when Walt would refer to Jesse as Jack's "partner," Jack responded, "You think I'd partner with a rat?!"
