Terry Moran, anchor of ABC's Nightline and Andrea Mitchell, NBC's diplomatic correspondent, arrived in Mexico City ahead of Barack Obama's state visit. Both correspondents were granted an interview with Felipe Calderon, the President of Mexico, in his office. ABC's Moran brought up the recent Pentagon assessment that his republic runs the risk of becoming a "failed state" because of the narcoviolence in its northern states that has claimed as many as 10,000 lives in the past two years. "Absolutely not," Calderon asserted. As for that fence built by the United States along his northern border: "I cannot say that this is a friendly attitude." For its part, the United States is "tightening the financial noose" around three trafficking organizations, NBC's Mitchell pointed out. Banking will now be more difficult for the Sinaloa Cartel, Los Zetas and La Familia Michoacana.
