You're lucky... I saw the Don Lemon handoff to Wolf Blitzer. Eventually switched to NBC and Brian Williams. I'd rather watch Ted Baxter cover breaking news. Currently watching Al Jazeera coverage. They actually have reporters in Islamabad AND they are showing footage of the mansion on fire. And they just announced that, earlier, they had received reports that America's Delta Force was on the ground somewhere in Pakistan, indicating there was advance notice (implying a possible intelligence leak). http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ -- Kevin M.
