This fine piece by Judea Pearl, father of late Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, should be required reading for anyone who buys the bull&%$# that terrorism is the expression of “desperation” or constitutes legitimate political expression. Daniel Pearl (pictured above) was murdered by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (who, thankfully, sits incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay) and other al Qaeda terrorists seven years ago this week.

We remember Daniel Pearl as a journalist’s journalist, a man whose even-handed dedication to truth and perfectly objective reporting stand as a shining example of what our profession can be at its best.
