Daniel Pearl's heroism got lost in this propaganda film. Similar to Spielberg's "Munich", it went overboard in its message that we should not blame Muslims for his death - even to the point of omitting the beheading - which would have reminded us that this story is real - not just a movie. It should
be viewed as a wake-up call to break through our denial about terrorism, since not being more vigilant to the danger in his midst is what got Daniel killed. Today's guests, all controversial commentators, should make for a lively discussion: Ari Bussel, Arlene Peck and Debbie Schlussel.
