#4 I still strongly suspect that Daniel Pearl, WSJ reporter, was an Israeli agent. His job as a reporter would have been a very useful cover, and he was widely traveled, having visited the Soviet Union, China, the Balkans, and other places of interest, before moving to the South Asia bureau. He investigated several international incidents of high intelligence value.

The stories he wrote were of serious investigative value, punctuated by a few fluff pieces that could have been written by anyone.

Basically, if he wasn't an Israeli agent, he should have been.

Likely he was killed by the Pak ISI, pretending to be a terrorist organization. Their demands were nonsensical, including the freeing of all Pakistani terror detainees, and the release of a halted U.S. shipment of F-16 fighter jets to the Pakistani government.

This, by a 'terrorist' organization that hasn't been heard from before or since.

#5 Anonymoose, Mr. Wife's Uncle Peter, who fought two tours in Viet Nam as a Marine, is convinced my husband is a CIA agent. Mr. Wife did, after all have to get a new passport five years early, after the fourth extension fell out, and there was the year he spent over two hundred days in the Arab world starting up factories. The thing is, my husband was perfectly typical of his type, the factory start-up engineer for an international manufacturing company. And later he was perfectly typical of the department/division head with people reporting to him from the major world geographies, going round the world each quarter to check in on them.

I see nothing to indicate that Mr. Pearl was anythng more than the kind of really good investigative reporter the Wall Street Journal pays pots of money to keep on the payroll. And anyway, Mr. Pearl was not killed for being CIA; he was killed for being a Jew.
