“on the day we found out that Daniel Pearl was dead, the editors of the Wall Street Journal said, ``His murder is an act of barbarism that makes a mockery of everything that Danny's kidnappers claimed to believe in. ``They claimed to be Pakistani nationalists, but their actions most surely bring shame to all true Pakistani patriots.'' I think the editors of the Journal got it exactly right. Murder is never an act of patriotism, no matter what country one comes from. Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf is doing everything he can to track down Mr. Pearl's killers. Our own President says he is confident that Pervez Musharraf is doing everything possible to find them. Pervez Musharraf has proven that he is a reliable ally in our war on terrorism. He has proven it by tracking down terrorists, even when they are citizens of his own country. Daniel Pearl, another totally innocent victim in this war on terrorism, died seeking the truth. Let us make sure he did not die in vain. Let us help Pervez Musharraf find his killers, stop terrorism, and bring peace and democracy to the struggling nations of this world.”
