The botched, bungled, mis-named "war on terrorism" is
not the strength of the Bush abomination, it is the
SHAME of the Bush abomination.
Editors and Publishers: Responding to a statement by
Vice President Dick Cheney last Thursday, the family

Pearl Family: Keep Daniel's Name Out of Politics

NEW YORK Responding to a statement by Vice President
Dick Cheney last Thursday, the family of Wall Street
Journal reporter Daniel Pearl has asked that his name
not be used in any political context in this year's
election campaign.
Mocking Sen. John Kerry's pledge to fight a "more
sensitive" war on terror, Cheney had said, "The men
who beheaded Daniel Pearl will not be impressed by our
sensitivity."
Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded in Pakistan two years
ago.
Pearl's father, Judea Pearl, 67, said the request was
meant to reduce the chances of inflaming hatred.
"We don't take sides between Bush and Kerry," he told
The New York Times. "I don't even know who I'm going
to vote for."
