...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...handed down over the gruesome killing of American journalist Daniel Pearl, calling the decision an "affront."
"The overturning of the convictions for Daniel Pearl’s murder is an affront to victims of terrorism everywhere," says Alice Wells, the top US diplomat for South Asia.
She welcomes indications that Pak prosecutors will appeal the decision on British-born terrorist Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh.
Mr. Sheikh, after all, only helped deliver Daniel Pearl to Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, he didn’t actually help cut off his head. So clearly he is innocent, to a certain kind of mind.
