Apparently US officials have visual confirmation.
RIP, Mr. Pearl. And may your murderers be punished sooner rather than later.

Um...who is/was Daniel Pearl, what is 'WSJ', and what were the circumstances?

That's a real bummer. And, his wife is pregnant, too. I really feel for his wife (as well as all the other wives and children who have lost their husbands/Dads in 9/11). Don't know how you pick up your life after that....especially since the news will keep reminding you of it.

I must state for the record that the widow of the murdered WSJ journalist, Mariane Pearl (a journalist herself), is much stronger than I thought a person in her situation could ever be. I have enclosed a link to a public statement issued by her below:
http://asia.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/asiapcf/south/02/22/pearl.wife.statement/
It seems to me that she is advocating something much higher than mere revenge, which in her case is really incredible and commendable in the highest.

Pretty impressive woman.
One thing though just as an observation - when someone in the media gets killed, its front page news for days and a national tragedy (according to the press anyway). Yet the CIA agent who was murdered in that prison break in Afghanastan barely got any attention relatively speaking.

And so we come to the basic premise of "007: Tomorrow Never Dies" - he who controls the media controls the world...

Tyrants have known this for a long time. Try giving 1984 by George Orwell a read. Also take a look at Animal Farm. One of the few books that actually changed my life. "All Animals Are Created Equal, But Some Are More Equal Than Others." Whenever you start to hear anything that sounds similar run, don't walk to get out of there.

All members are equal, except for Journeymen, who are elite. I think "equality" only exists in Utopia.
