Lots of information now coming out on an incursion into Pakistan by a hunter-killer team.
Andrew Cochran at Counterterrorism Blog has some suppositions, some good links to reports, and the site has more links in the right-hand side bar.
If you'd prefer to see the preliminary reports, Bill Roggio at Long War Journal has had them up for a day or so.

From the FOXNews Urgent Queue (a couple hours ago, though):
Can now confirm...
Key Point: The reporters are not willing to claim it part of a larger policy, yet.
Ignore The AP article that trails the brief at the top, please. It is mostly off-topic.
Im glad they did this, With Pakistan dithering, we needed to do this.
Pakistan seems to be doing more than dithering, more like teetering on the edge of collapse. If a collapse occurs, the US special forces may well have to confiscate all their Nuclear weapons.
@maxkon88:
Just what we need: another failed state. Even better! One with nuclear weapons!
All:
If US forces had actionable intelligence regarding militants in the border region, is the Pak government even coherent enough to either take action themselves or negotiate terms for US action? If not, what do you do?
What about if your intelligence is that bin Laden may be present?
I can think of a lot of hard questions like this. I sure hope we got something worthwhile out of this.
According to White House guidance to reporters today, *this story* as run in the New York Times stating that raids are now policy is "not contested".
