TODAY'S PAPERS
Strike Out
By Daniel PolitiPosted Thursday, June 12, 2008, at 6:16 AM ET The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal's world-wide newsbox lead with news that U.S. forces launched a series of intense airstrikes that killed 11 Pakistani paramilitary soldiers along the Afghan border in an attack that immediately raised tensions between the American and Pakistani governments.
Details are still sketchy and no one really knows what exactly happened on Tuesday night but what is clear is that the attack threatened the already fragile relations between the United States and one of its key allies in the region.
Early yesterday the Pakistani military said the airstrikes were "unprovoked and cowardly" while the Pentagon characterized it as "a legitimate strike in self-defense."
