LOADED STATEMENT ON PEARL
The BBC is reporting that that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was "over intrusive" when pursuing the story that got him killed. The BBC does not elaborate much except with one more paragraph explaining he made his remarks at a "conference in Islamabad (and said) that journalists needed to be aware of the risks they face and act accordingly."

And since I neglected to link to it early in the week, now seems a good time to point out the latest bit of violence against reporters doing their job in Afghanistan. This time, a Toronto Star reporter was badly injured when a grenade was thrown into a car carrying several journalists.
