It wasn't funny. But is is in any poorere taste than showing President Kennedy
getting his brains blasted out? I notice that noone seems to have reservations
about showing that on the telly . . .

Whoa, whoa, whoa there, tiger...
Daniel Pearl was quite possibly a US spy. When someone catches a spy, they
often kill them. It's certainly not unheard of.
When I think "most important videos ever taken", I tend to think of:
The Apollo moon landing
The Kennedy assasination
Nixon leaving the White House for the last time
The protesting student who stood in front of a tank in Beijing
The Rodney King beatings
The L.A. riots
The Chicago riots
The Detroit riots
The first black student walking in to a newly integrated school
Somehow, a captured spy being executed just doesn't compare.

What evidence was there that Pearl was anything other than a
journalist?

None that I know of. He was a professional journalist who had worked in the
field for a number of years, and wrote for an extremely reputable newspaper.

re: 10 -- I don't honestly know. It's been mentioned quite recently on the
news, but I didn't really pay close attention, because I don't care.
re: 11 -- Can you think of a better cover for a CIA agent?

Get with the program. He was [not] spying for Israel.
Daniel Pearl was "accused" and forced to admit that he was.... Jewish.
When spies are apprehended, it is usually by the government. I wasn't
aware that the Pakistani government apprehended Pearl, let alone tried
him in a court of law.
Daniel Pearl was cruelly murdered by terrorists in cold blood.
Why? Perhaps because he was an American, perhaps because he was Jewish,
perhaps because he was an Israeli.
That might be the "justification", an "excuse" or "rationalization" that
some people might choose to "understand". As if such an act can be justified,
excused, rationalized or understood.

I agree with Larry, and any accusation of spying should still be tried in
a properly constituted constitutional court, not by a posse. A lot of the
comments being made here are just by jerks trying to be funny. It wasn't
funny.

I liked it for what it was. I would have been disappointed if I had to pay
money to see it in a theater, or rent it on video, though.

It doesn't necessarily matter. There have been plenty of people that
have been caught in international affauiras and branded as a spy. That
could have been the line they used when they took him into custody.
We'll never know. What we do know is that he was kidnapped, falsely
imprisoned and murdered. Why is not really the issue.

("falsely imprisoned" makes it sound as if he was imprisoned rather than
kidnapped and held hostage, only to then be murdered.)
