When most of the denizens of U.S. newsrooms all but ignored the drug war that exploded on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border, I watched Fox News Channel's national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin on the Mexican side of the border describing the latest confrontation between government troops and the vicious, deadly drug cartels. I turned to a colleague and said, "As far as I'm concerned, the border conflict is now officially a war zone because they've got Jennifer Griffin reporting from the Southwest border."
