Does David Weston of ABC have an opinion regarding the kidnapping of Danny Pearl? Or is he remaining objective and making no judgements? Just wondering.

ABC is reporting some of the text of the email in question:

CNN said it received an e-mail from those purportedly holding Pearl, saying he had been killed. In the e-mail, Pearl's alleged kidnappers said he was killed as "collateral damage" for the people in Afghanistan the United States had killed in the war on terrorism.

"It seems that the American government is not interested even in the life of its own citizens," the e-mail said. "We have killed Mr. Danny now Mr. Bush can find his body in the grave yards of Karachi we have thrown him there"

Steve Goldstein, spokesman for Dow Jones, which owns the Journal, said, "We've seen the latest reports, and we remain hopeful they are not true."

If he's consistent, he should have no opinion whatsoever as to whether a reporter is a legitimate target. But I'll bet he's not consistent.
