One person applauding Austin’s rejection of the plea is Judea Pearl, Daniel Pearl’s 88-year-old father. One of the country’s most prominent computer scientists, Judea Pearl told The Free Press that it was important that KSM be executed. “He not only never expressed regret, he bragged about what he did,” Judea said. None of the government’s charges against KSM include the murder of his son, because it could complicate his prosecution on the 9/11 charges—a fact that angers Judea. “As a moral issue, it is clear that my son’s murder should be part of the charges,” he said. Here’s what else he told The Free Press during a short interview on Sunday.
Daniel Pearl’s Father: KSM Deserves the Death Penalty

KSM has almost 3,000 murders on his hands, including Daniel Pearl's. He should face the death penalty for every single one of them -- and he should face a standard military tribunal, just as any other illegal combatant would face in any other war. This should have been finished 20 years ago or more. It's absurd that he's still here.
