Daniel Pearl undergoing "coercive interrogation"
He was later beheaded.

September 27, 2006 ~ Pakistani’s president, Pervez Musharraf, asserted today, that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed either killed or took part in the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl.

>I< Daniel Pearl, a Journalist for the Wall Street Journal, was killed in Pakistan by Muslim extremists. As a Jew, he was unwise to let himself be taken voluntarily into their custody.

Pearl’s captors made a video, titled The Slaughter of the Spy Journalist, the Jew Daniel Pearl. The video made its way to the Pakistan government and the U.S. government, and eventually it leaked onto the Internet through a Jihadist site. It consists of a Pearl monologue describing his Jewish upbringing, his family’s involvement with the creation of the Israeli state and his feelings regarding the current controversy. His monologue is presented in edited sound bites. At times he appears relaxed and his speech is natural, but during other parts he is tense and his speech sounds forced. Notably he does not claim to be a spy for the U.S. or Israel.

According to published reports, when Daniel Pearl’s throat was first slashed, a technical error caused it not to be captured on film. In the video, Pearl’s corpse is shown naked from the waist up, lying on a blanket. A man’s arm is holding his head forward so that his cut neck cannot be seen. With the knife in his other hand, the man proceeds to cut deeper into Pearl’s neck, from the back to the front. There is little blood. The man holding the knife is now strongly believed to have been Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, then the chief of military operations for al Qaeda. >I<

Isn't it reassuring to know that the guardians of our civil rights want to make certain that during his detention and his trial, Mohammed’s constitutional rights will not be violated? They say he must be treated humanely and in compliance with the Geneva Conventions.

But in all candor, Islam's conflict with us will never be resolved. So, to insure that this war is fought with a modicum of civility, let us send some pure-hearted, decerebrate congressmen to Osama’s cave, to sit with him and persuade him to sign the Geneva document.
