What you don't realize is that CNN broke this story because they are the ones receiving the emails, not the US gov't! All the emails were sent to CNN directly including the ones with the pictures attached. CNN has turned them over to the State Dept.

As much I despise CNN, they are much closer to this story than the other news outlets.

Thanks. I didn't know that, but I also don't trust CNN. I changed to FOX News Channel 1.5 years ago when I found out their reporting was much more balanced and truthful. I also don't scream at the TV as much as I used to! :o)

Fate of kidnapped reporter unclear

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - A caller purporting to represent the kidnappers of reporter Daniel Pearl telephoned the U.S. Consulate in Karachi on Friday and demanded $2 million and the release of the former Taliban ambassador to Pakistan, senior police officials said.

However, CNN said it received an e-mail from those claiming to hold the Wall Street Journal correspondent, saying he had been killed. CNN spokeswoman Christa Robinson said "We did receive an e-mail reporting that Daniel Pearl was killed."
