From what I understand he was talking about a surgical strike based on an 
intelligence report of a planned meeting of al quaeda "high command" in 2005. 
Presumably this meeting would have decided which terrorist strikes to work 
towards in the future. Not an invasion of Pakistan.

I don't see much difference between this and the regular strikes on palestine 
by israel "to hit known terrorists". I see very little criticism of this in 
the US press.

Both are "wrong" in my  mind, it just irks to see the obvious dual standard 
being shown.

PS Commiserations on Murdoch buying the Washington Post. You can 
bet "Watergate" wouldn't have been reported if he'd owned it at the time. 
(He'd have used it as a "chip" in the big game - 'tis his way).
