Thank you, OldFriend, you beat me to it. Did these folks NOT READ the article? Daniel Pearl's complaints about the abuses of US Foreign Policy are the same ones WE registered about x42's overseas forays. His foreign policy was all about saving his sorry white rear end; he would launch missles to deflect news coverage of his fun with Monica or his money grubbing.
What is interesting is the timing of this; these articles don't reflect Pearl's animosity toward the US as much as the fact he hated the abuse of our foreign policies. This article may be a way to entice these folks into letting him go by convincing them he's on their side when he actually may not be.
Perhaps it is YOU , who needs ( desperately , I might add ! ) to reread this article, and think... and read, and think, and READ & COMPREHEND what it says. You seem to have missed several salient poins about Daniel Pearl's veiws. Or, have you recently changed over to being a bleeding hearted LIBERAL lately ?
