ARTICLE: Clinton Arrival in Pakistan Met by Fatal Attacks, By MARK LANDLER and ISMAIL KHAN, New York Times, October 28, 2009
With the Obama team continuing Bush-Cheney's lack of strategic imagination in regionalizing the solution set on Afghanistan (no worries, as the Chinese solution plugs along--investment by investment--in both sides of the Af-Pak divide), there is plenty of logic behind backing the horse most willing right now to take the fight directly to the enemy.
The Biden redirect in action, with the Pakistani desire for no American "face" being most welcome--casualty wise.

These attacks seem slightly odd to me, not the timing but the direct assault on civilian. not that attacking civilians is new for terrorists but the recent manual on ops by the Taliban has noted that attacks on civilians are to be avoided, they don't help the hearts and minds bit.
