The Pakistanis are doing what now?

Always only at McClatchy,

Pakistan's fitful military operation against Islamist extremists pushed into its third day Monday, but there was no sign of overt combat....

A senior official in the North West Frontier Province, Afrasiab Khattak, said that despite the election of a civilian government in February, the army — with the support of President Pervez Musharraf — continues to dictate Pakistan's policy toward Afghanistan and to use the tribal belt sanctuaries to undermine the U.S.-backed Afghan government.

Two other interesting points in this article. 1) There appears to have been another US airstrike which was hidden underneath this PR exercise. (Maybe that's the point?)

2) It is very apparent that the Pakistanis will not go after its "homegrown" Taleban.

This article is well worth a read.
