The father of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl slammed the Obama administration's decision to hold a public trial for admitted 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed -- who boasted of killing his son in Pakistan.
Judea Pearl said he was "sick to the stomach" when he heard that the Justice Department decided to prosecute Mohammed in Manhattan federal court.
"I don't want to hear every morning in the papers what KSM did," Pearl told The Post last night. "Danny was killed once. Now he will be killed 10 times a day. Leave him alone."
VIDEO: 9/11 SUSPECTS TO BE TRIED IN NY
His son's beheading in 2002 was caught on a gruesome video that shocked the world.
"The 21st century saw three shocks," Pearl said. "The first was 9/11. The second was the killing of my son. And the third was the shock today."
The reporter's outraged father, a UCLA professor, said a public trial would allow the admitted mass murderer to "boast about his cruelty" and encourage other terrorists to inflict harm.
Pearl said the prosecution of Mohammed should be done in closed session to avoid giving terrorists a platform.

We only saw photos of Daniel as captured but none of the others that are mentioned. His death was the first of several brutal murders by this group of animals...
I’m sure Ellen Goodman and Maureen Dowd and the others who say the families of those killed by the jihadists have the moral authority will rush to agree with him. But I won’t hold my breath.
Obama HATES the U.S. and why he wants to SHAME the U.S. through this ridiculous “trial”. OBAMA IS OUR ENEMY. OBAMA IS A LIAR AND A TERRORIST. I make NO APOLOGY FOR THAT FACT. Sanction me till YOU are silly.
Hussein doesn’t care about American victims, his sympathies are all with his Muslim brethren.The beheadings, the people who were forced to either burn alive or jump to their deaths—none of them mean a thing to Hussein. CAIR and other Islam jihadist front groups are right on time with their warnings about the “backlash” that never happens after innocent Americans are killed by Muslims. Over and over we are reminded that a majority voted to give this country away for their free “gimmees”.
Mr Pearl.....did you VOTE for Bammy?? Methinks you probably did. How’s that Hope and CHANGE working out for you??
Mr. Pearl.....Bammy is a Jew Hating Muslim!! Listen to Rev. Wright and that will tell you how Bammy thinks about Jews. Jews just can’y face it that a fellow Liberal would hate them.
Which is precisely why the left will call for, and 0bama will force, a wide open trial.
He needs to keep us focused on this so he can continue to implement his nefarious plans in the dark...
I was thinking the same thing.... hope I am wrong.
I attended a funeral this morning where Eric Holder spoke. As he gave his remarks, his KSM decision was all I could think about. I wondered if it was on the minds of the one thousand members of law enforcement community who had to sit and listen to him as well.
I know this is going to sound callous but I can’t keep from asking “How did Mr Pearl vote?”
I’ll never forget seeing that clip of his son and why I watched remains a mystery to me. But I went to the ‘range’ that evening with my brother, and remember us talking about everything going on, and I broke out crying. Didn’t know where that came from really, but almost sobbing...about the sheer hatred and barbarianism that had descended on the United States of America. It is still hard to grasp...but now I’m almost a decade older and a decade harder.
There was one of the beheading and the animal holding his head.
Obama doesn’t hate Jews. He doesn’t even hate Israelis. He only hates those who don’t move in his circles.
87% chance Mr. Pearl voted for the man-child.
An open challenge to all FReepers, Lurkers, O-Bots and Trolls
Prove me wrong.
at least! The whole family probably showed up!
Regardless of who Mr. Pearl voted for, he has a right to be outraged.
This is the tortured father who had told his son that it’s good to be open and talk with anybody.
Details and video of Pearl’s beheading. Anything graphic can be ignored....
