Daniel Pearl

Remember Danny Pearl, the Wall Street Journalist editor and Bureau Chief who was executed by kidnappers in his efforts to gather information about terrorists and their plans during the late January immediately after 9/11?

His widow applied for 9/11 benefits on the basis of his death being related to the same Islamic terrorist efforts, but has been denied, according to CNN. Watch someone on the (cough) compassionate right mention that she's not only French, but biracial, as if these facts alone somehow justify the right to deny her any benefits.
