A lot of big international affairs stories today. They discovered of that an attack on American military officers and Afghani officials back in 2007 was actually perpetrated by members of the Pakistani army. They were holding talks in a place called Teri Mangal to resolve a border dispute between Afghanistan and Pakistan. After the meeting, members of the Pakistani army involved in the talks ambushed the Afghan officials and the American officers who were with them and opened fire. Four people were injured and one officer died. I think that considering this attack in 2007, and the incident with Osama hiding right outside a major Pakistani city without anyone noticing, that America should overlook Pakistan’s strategic value and stop treating it like it is an allied nation.

It might just have been my mistake , but I couldn’t find a story to go along with the front page picture of the protestors in Yemen.

I finally found a somewhat funny correction.  Last Monday the Times put out a television review of the new show Terra Nova. The reviewer mistakenly said that the setting of the show actually starts 38 years into the future, not 138 years. The New York Times wishes to apologize to anyone who was inconvenienced by thinking the show started in the 21^st century instead of the 22^nd.
