Well, that's precisely the point.  This death of Pearl is a sign that
September 11th continues.  (For those that thought it was 'back to normal'
now.)

I don't know how "juicy" it is.  But again, this Pearl situation is a symbol
of something much larger.  That indisciminate killing goes on, innocent
lives are still at risk, the badge "journalist" is not the protection that
it once was.

The senseless killing of innocent civilians...continues.

I think those two stories are much "juicier"...but we can always write them
off as the actions of a lone individual who doesn't have his head screwed on
straight.  But the Pearl incident is something much more...much deeper.
