"A Completely Unprovoked and Cowardly Act"

Today the Pentagon released grainy footage of the US strike on Pakistan Tuesday, repeating the tired line that the strike was undertaken in order to protect our forces in the region.

Two very difference accounts have surfaced regarding the incident on Tuesday. The United States maintains forces came under attack by soldiers who crossed the border into Afghanistan. They also maintain that the Pakistani forces were aware that the forces were under attack and had called in air support to suppress the threat.

In contrast, the Pakistani government says the video fails to tell the whole story. They maintain that Afghani troops were setting up a checkpoint near the border when they came under attack by the Taliban. No mention was made of whether or not the Pakistani government was made aware of incoming air support.

A quick solution to this would be for CNN to disclose where the blast crater exists. If any part of the crater is on the Pakistani side of the border, the Pakistanis have more than a legitimate argument against US aggression. That CNN failed to disclose where the blast zone exists automatically makes me suspect a cover-up is being concocted by both governing agencies.

How is this not an act of war?
