Khalid Sheik Mohammed killed U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, report finds
Washington Post ^ | January 20, 2011

Posted on 01/19/2011 9:39:07 PM PST by rdl6989

A recently completed investigation of the killing of Daniel Pearl in Pakistan nine years ago makes public new evidence that a senior al-Qaeda operative executed the Wall Street Journal reporter.

Khalid Sheik Mohammed - the self-described mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, who is being held at the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - said at a military hearing in 2007 that he killed Pearl. But there have been lingering doubts about his involvement, and the United States has not charged him with the crime.

According to the new report, which was prepared by faculty members and students at Georgetown University, U.S. officials have concluded that vascular technology, or vein matching, shows that the hand of the unseen man who killed Pearl on video is that of Mohammed. The report also says Mohammed told the FBI that a senior al-Qaeda operative advised him to take control of Pearl from his original kidnappers.

The 31,000-word report, published in conjunction with the Center for Public Integrity is among the most complete and graphic accounts of Pearl's death.

It took 31,000 words to say what KSM confessed to in 2007? Yikes! 31,000 words is the equivalent of over 51 (double yikes) 600-page books. Of course, the Leftists in and out of academia will believe this report because it comes from Georgetown U. They would not believe KSM's confession, however, because, as the article says, he was waterboarded 183 times by the CIA. Also according to the article, prosecutors are afraid to charge KSM with the murder of Pearl because of the waterboarding.

I sometimes wonder how we continue to survive as a country with about 45% of the population consistently voting Dem and being this stupid.

Marching orders mean nothing if no one will carry them out.

Right. That’s why homicide bombings are on the rise. Look, I’m not looking to argue with you. It is my opinion that putting that piece of rat excrement to death is not only just, but appropriate. Keeping him alive is not. Those who are out to attack our country and our allies don’t give a rat’s @rse one way or the other.

I think you meant 51 600-word pages (but I hear what you're saying).

Next, he will be taking credit for the assassinations of RFK, JFK and Lincoln.

However, the POS needs to be put down.

And for all those POS floating in toilets and sewers, I’m sorry for the comparison.

Chain him to the bottom of a pit serving a row of port-a-pottys at a fairground. Hold a big Texas chile festival (free beer too) at the fairground.

IMHO we need to completely destroy their seats of power, and go on destroying their cities until they sue for mercy.

Everytime I see something like this, I'm reminded of why there are relatively smart people executing our wars, while people like you are sitting in front of your computers yelling stupid ideas into the black hole of the internet.

Seriously, "go on destroying their cities until they sue for mercy?" Is this your plan for stopping terrorist attacks against the USA?

Terrorism from Islam is never going to stop. Never. Understand this. It won’t stop until they have killed you or subjugated you.

Don’t cringe from doing bad things to Islam simply because you fear the consequences. The consequences of not doing bad things to Islam is unspeakable horror.

The Muslims in the ME don’t understand Christian charity. They don’t understand why we stay our hands. They truly believe that we are scared to attack Mecca and Medina because we are ‘scared of Allah’.

If we want to show them the error of their ways, I suggest we demonstrate that this isn’t the case.

After the next Beslan or 9/11 atrocity in which the US is a target - we bomb no-one. We identify the terrorists’ Mosque(s) of origin and pump them full of pig slurry.

On the next atrocity vs US citizens of whatever size; same drill. Find the Mosque and insert the pigshit.

If we end up dropping plane-loads of aerosolised pig-crap on the Kaaba, so be it.

Yes, fear and ird-shame will drive Muslims all over the world into fanatic rages. We will get through one frack-load of pig offal. A lot of people would die.

But remember - this is all done after the next Beslan or 9/11. Children sodomised and then killed. Thousands of office workers burnt or crushed to death. We would have to escalate, and this is a way which would be relatively humane - and one which would boost America’s farming industry.

Put the muzzie slime naked in an unsmoothed concrete lined pit with a half inch of water at the bottom. Put a metal grate over the top and let him enjoy the rest of his life with festering sores and bug bites.

Are Daniel Pearl’s family still pro-Muslim, still apologizing for being American?

Oh, how very nice. Let's tell them exactly how we know who committed the crime.

Next time, the snuff filmmakers will be sure to wear gloves.

Why did we need anything more than a confession, anyway? How many times do we need to have the lawyers come out and convict the guy?
