Interesting that Gadahn (real name Pearlman) was probably aware of the Daniel Pearl abduction and murder given his association with the AlQaeda operatives in Karachi. Not only did he share the same Jewish blood as Pearl, he also shared the same Surname Pearl(man).
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/state/la-me-adam28may28,1,5513188.story?coll=la-news-state He said the family has received letters from his son — although not recently — written from Karachi, Pakistan.
Philip Gadahn said he hasn't spoken with his son in 2 1/2 years. "He just called us [from Pakistan] out of the blue one day, right after 9/11."
"... he also shared the same Surname Pearl(man)."
So it is a rejection of the father?
