Remembering Danny Pearl

Daniel Pearl, a Wall Street Journal reporter, was killed 10 years ago this week in Pakistan while he was the South Asia bureau chief of the paper.

If you do not know who he was, spend some time reading these articles and listen to this recording. I met Danny once, when he worked in Atlanta for the Journal, at a bar on New Year’s Eve.
