Mohammed restaged the killing, this time decapitating Pearl, according to the report. He then dismembered Pearl's body, and it was buried on the compound.

Vein recognition software didn’t exist when Pearl was murdered. Now it does.

It’s unbelievable to me that liberals are horrified that KSM was waterboarded after what he did to Daniel Pearl.

Think like a liberal!!! All will become clear.

KSM = hate America = Good = Friend.

Daniel Pearl = Jew = Capitalist = Evil = Enemy
