Asra Nomani on KSM and the Murder of Daniel Pearl
Washingtonian has this remarkable piece by Asra Nomani, journalist and dear friend to The Wall Street Journal's Daniel Pearl. As is well known, Pearl was kidnapped in Pakistan in 2002 and gruesomely beheaded. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed later boasted to U.S. personnel at Guantanamo that he had committed the killing---a claim that, as Nomani explains, was corroborated by subsequent investigation but didn't lead to independent criminal charges against KSM.
Very much worth a read.
