Here is a collection of Daniel Pearl's articles:

Of all the sites I've found that carry his articles, there is one that I read in WSJ's newspaper that I cannot find anymore. Daniel had written an article about Taba, in NYC, http://www.tabainc.com He said it was either one of OBL companies or connected to OBL.

This guy is trying to profit from Daniel Pearl's murder with unsubstantiated claims of denial of the obvious.

But he's a writer, and writers need to dramatize. He's bringing Pearl alive for a lot of people. I think Danny's life is starting to take on a sort of messianic quality, and regardless of the quality of information he obtained, his death turned the free world's attention toward the swirling cauldron of hatred brewing in Pakistan. In a sense, Lévy is trying to make sure Danny's death was for naught.

I also appreciate Lévy's reaffirmation of our friendship with France. As he himself is Jewish, one can understand why America's willingness to stand against anti-Semitism in the world is appealing to him. He also has a reputation for criticizing the left in France, evidently: To hell with other people George Walden reviews Sartre: The philosopher of the Twentieth Century by Bernard Henri-Lévy

was not for naught

"He also has a reputation for criticizing the left in France, evidently: To hell with other people George Walden reviews Sartre: The philosopher of the Twentieth Century by Bernard Henri-Lévy ."

I had to roll my eyes at the above statement. Daniel Pearl married a leftist so I doubt that he had genuine issues with the left.

Yeah, these guys were lefties if you dig into their past a bit more. I posted without thinking again. But hey, people get more conservative as they age sometimes.
