The lasting legacy of Daniel Pearl. By William L. Winter, Ph.D. President & Executive Director
American Press Institute.
Winter writes well (no surprise) and to the point about Pearl the journalist.
Daniel Pearl also died as a Jew. My rant on his death Have you ever wondered why there aren't more Jews? (aside from folks killing us?) and Meryl's even deeper tribute.

I'm confused. I thought that the implication of his 'I am a Jew' statement was that it was something he was forced to say by way of giving the murders justification for killing him, claiming he was a Mossad spy or somthing.
The quote from the piece that I liked most was:
'Certainly it will remind us that the outputs of a brave and independent press are so important, so basic to the development and maintenance of free societies, that they are, yes, worth dying for.'
