US Approved Troop Hunts for Suspected Terrorists in Pakistan

Now I'm a simpleton and like to put things into prospective as simply as possible.

Can you imagine the US accepting Mexico's or Canada's following a "hot pursuit" into the US? Yeah, right.

Newly uncovered "rules of engagement" show the U.S. military gave elite units broad authority more than three years ago to pursue suspected terrorists into Pakistan, with no mention of telling the Pakistanis in advance.

The documents obtained by The Associated Press offer a detailed glimpse at what Army Rangers and other terrorist-hunting units were authorized to do earlier in the war on terror. And interviews with military officials suggest some of those same guidelines have remained in place, such as the right to "hot pursuit" across the border.
