"Peaceful" Muslims ...

Exactly what I've been thinking. It doesn't make sense. For some reason the media, maybe at the urging of the gov't or even thru Pakistani disinformation, want to minimize the gruesome nature of Danny Pearl's death.

For terror propaganda.

About 15 years ago, a Marine Colonel (?Higgins?) was captured in Israel or near Israel, and three months later they showed his body hanging on a gibbet claiming they "executed" him.

The CIA claimed he had died months before. I was confused until an Israeli friend pointed out that A) He was wearing a heavy top coat, meaning that he died in January, about the time he was captured, and B) the body hung straight, without a broken neck or signs of strangulation.

Apparantly the Guy was CIA, and killed himself on capture, so they "faked" an execution for their more naive followers.

Followers of Mohammad, the great messenger of Satan.

There were initial reports from one of the arrested suspects that Danny was killed trying to escape. Then perhaps they decided to make it look like they killed him out of pure meanness so as to intimidate the U.S.
