Interesting that Pearl was killed because he had the audacity to try to escape. Guess the "beheading video" was just an afterthought.
So here's the shape we're in many, many months after the beginning of this vaunted "4-day trial" that would lead to the quick execution of Sheikh Omar--Muslim mastermind of Daniel Pearl's kidnapping and murder.
Fox News mentioned yesterday that--let alone a new trial--the appeals in Omar's case could last a year or more.
How can Pervez allow this farce to continue? Or does his operating under the flag of "The Islamic Republic of Pakistan" have something to do with prolonging this bogus judicial sideshow?
An informed official said that in line with the decision taken by senior Pakistani investigators, the United States government and Mrs Pearl also agreed not to publicly announce the results of the DNA test or to claim Pearl's remains from the government of Pakistan until the trial court announces its verdict.
So the appeal and possible re-trial is now based on the wrong-doings of the United States government and Mrs. Pearl.
These guys can't get much cuter.
