What a sad, horrifying last few days Daniel Pearl had. Every society that does not act against to seek justice for the vermin who took Daniel Pearl's life is diminished.

[Amelia]

Very sad! I guess at least his family can now bring his remains home and have some sense of closure. :(

[texasbluebell]

Poor Danny. Horrifying to think what his last few days were like. At least his family can bury his body now. Will justice ever be served to his killers though?

[Ciexyz]

Try them, convict them, then shoot them.

[SeaChell]

How sad. Now his family can lay him to rest. My prayers are with the Pearl family.

[fella]

Did not the terrorists claim that his body would be found "among the graveyards..."? It appears that they lied again.

[Andy from Beaverton]

Please don't forget about his brave articles he wrote. Despite Tales, the War in Kosovo Was Savage, but Wasn't Genocide He was very critical of the Muslim terrorist lies in Kosovo.

I saw the unedited video that CBS showed, but I couldn't tell if he was dead before they beheaded him. His eyes were closed when they were cutting, so he may have already been dead. He did have a wound (or it looked like it to me) on left side of his chest. Not sure if it was a gunshot wound or a big knife stab.
These guys are sick an deserve to die.

[Siobhan]

Yes, Daniel Pearl understood the evil threat of the Muslim terrorists. And his martyrdom in Afghanistan deserves our eternal memory.

[lainie]

Does that mean he was also critical of Clinton's involving our troops in same?

[Slyfox]

I saw an article on FR yesterday which said that the camera wasn't working when they filmed the actual death and slit his throat a second time after he was already dead, for the camera. That is why, they said, there was no blood spurting when they showed it on the video.

So sad. Rest in Peace Daniel Pearl. I hope they hang those evil people.

"He was very critical of the Muslim terrorist lies in Kosovo."

Perhaps THAT is why the terrorists REALLY killed him. The articles leave a few things out, or I missed them somehow:

Yes, the terrorists DID demand "better treatment for prisoners at Gitmo"...at first.

THEN they demanded the release of all Pakistani nationals held prisoners held there.

THEN they demanded money. Oh...they also alleged that Pearl was a Moussad agent.

All of three demands, which were heard once each from the terrorists, then dropped in favor of each of the others, pointed to the fact that their reason for kidnapping and murdering Daniel Pearl had nothing to do with any of the above.

'I'm a jihadi (holy warrior)," Bashir quoted Saeed as saying. Members of Lashkar-e-Janghvi are thought to have taken refuge in Afghanistan during the Taliban's rule there'

NECO EOS OMNES, DEUS SUUS AGNOSCET!!!

[Betty Jo]

Wasn't Danny going to talk to the guy(Gillani) who was funding Black Muslim Terrorists in America?

Wouldn't that be something if he was trying to get a huge story on American Black Terrorists becoming Bin Laden cohorts?

Here's to Danny Pearl!

Long live Freedom of the Press!

[Kay Soze]

Good looking hadnsome young man full of life and promise.
Meets Islam.

May he rest in peace.

[cake_crumb]

Thanks for the link. That is a very well written and thoughtful article about the Kosovo fiasco.

My prayers are with the Pearl family, especially for his widow. At least there will finally be some closure.

[OldFriend]

Dan Rather sought to exploit this tragedy for ratings gains.

His suggestion that anyone questioning the President on the War has to worry about burning tires being placed around their necks was another loathsome attack on the honor and decency of most Americans who know all too well just who the enemy is........THE MEDIA ELITE

[AmishDude]

Try them, convict them, then shoot them.

I, for one, am not too picky about the order, either.

[bandleader]

"Try Them,Convict Them,and Be-Head Them"!!!!!
