Mr. Pearl's death is recorded in a videotape. He is seen being knifed to death.

His kidnappers were seeking for a Jew who espoused anti-Islamic rhetoric.

The US Government is angered by this event and promises greater scrutiny into the incident.

Shik had better not use a ship named U.S.S. Daniel Pearl, that's for sure.

Very Sad, the statement by the family spokesman was hard to watch.

They say he is a Jew who was working against the Islamic Movement.

Is he? [Mad]

Well, as for whether or not he was Jewish... His name was Daniel, and his parents' names are Judea and Ruth. I'd guess that, even if he wasn't Jewish himself, he was probably from a Jewish family. Either that, or he's of Hebrew descent.

He was not knifed to death, the tape showed that he was cut in the throat, then decapitated.

I think they forced him to say "I'm a Jew, and my other is a Jew" before they killed him.

Some say he's working for CIA, but the kidnappers insisted that he was working for Isrealies intelligent service.

The kidnappers first said that he was a CIA operative, then that he was a Mossad agent.

Er ... Blue, having your throat slit with a knife is being knifed to death. Now, I don't when after this he was decapitated, but I don't think it takes all that long to die from a slit throat.

And I remember people saying WE are treating Taliban prisoners badly. I always said that was bullshit, that we're treating them a hell of a lot better than they'd treat us.

I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

Hobbes,

The guys who kidnapped Daniel Pearl weren't Taliban.

Just thought I'd clue you in on that.
