Daniel Pearl was there doing his job, a job that he loved.

Exactly. Journalists have often put themselves at risk to get the story - to do their job. Waco, the Elian raid, riots, car chases and etc. If any of the reporters covering those stories had died, I bet many of the people criticizing David Pearl would have called them a 'hero' in a heartbeat. It's rather sad. I pray David Pearl hasn't been killed.

People just don't know when to stop.

Last report about 5mins. ago, the story on CNN about Daniel is just a rumor, as far as all know, he is still alive. CNN sort of puts me in the mind of Drudge, sometimes his stories pan out, sometimes they do not, but getting the story first (right or wrong) for them is what counts, I guess. They make their corrections later. Have to admit, it sure had all of us Freepers in an "off with their heads" frenzy. I am sorry, I am not normally a violent person but I want all of the scum dead, dead, dead, and their body parts scattered all over Afghanistan. Mom_Grandmother

with all due respect, you continue to fail to make the distinction between behavior INSIDE AMERICA, and outside america in hostile territories where folks have been warned to stay the hell out of. you really want to compare being warned to stay out of pakistan to being warned that terrorists want to poison OUR water supply?
