This certainly got my attention:

Meanwhile, a senior Pakistani army officer told The Associated Press that an American helicopter fired rockets at a car in the Alawarai Mandi district of North Waziristan, just one mile from the Afghan border. Three people inside were injured, the officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

So a U.S. helo operates over the border? Given the political sensitivity, to do something this blatantly obvious means one of two things to me.

1) The helo pilots really did not realize they had crossed into Pakistani territory.
2) The targets in the car were of high enough value that any political repercussions were outweighed by their elimination.

Certainly piques my curiosity. Wonder if we'll get to hear any more about that?

We'll claim the pilots weren't sure of where the border was while in hot pursuit. Whether that's true or not is probably irrelevant, because we'll have to say it.

That border really is no more than a line on a map, and it depends on the map you're looking at. It a;so depends on the range of the missile being carried.
