U.S. Military Seeks to Expand Raids in Pakistan
Found on The New York Times on Tuesday, 21 December 2010
Senior American military commanders in Afghanistan are pushing for an expanded campaign of Special Operations ground raids across the border into Pakistan's tribal areas.
The decision to expand American military activity in Pakistan, which would almost certainly have to be approved by President Obama himself, would amount to the opening of a new front in the nine-year-old war, which has grown increasingly unpopular among Americans.
The officials who described the proposal and the intelligence operations declined to be identified by name discussing classified information.
Classified information. So that means the NYT is in the same boat as Wikileaks. I wonder when senators will demand the author's head, when PayPal will cancel accounts, when Mastercard will stop accepting transactions to the NYT and when Apple will pull their app. There are no double standards, right?
