1) For all of you reporters who shamelessly shilled for the U.S. Taliban withdrawal deal, think about this: During the process, @US4AfghanPeace said that Pakistan was a true partner for peace. Today, Pakistan overturned the murder conviction of Omar Saeed Sheikh.
2) Omar Saeed Sheikh planned @WSJ reporter Daniel Pearl's kidnapping. Pearl was then beheaded by Al Qaeda , which was recorded in a gruesome video. Sheikh was sentenced for kidnapping & murder, but a Pakistani court overturned the murder conviction.
3) Pakistani court said there was no proof Sheikh was involved in murder. But in any sane court, if you kidnap someone and they are subsequently murdered, you are guilty of murder as well.
4) One of the consequences of the U.S. Taliban deal is that Pakistan has been vindicated for its role in both the Afghan war and its support of terrorist groups. Sheikh is being released because Pakistan knows it has won, and know it will pay no consequence for its actions.
5) So, back to all of the reporters who shilled for the so called "peace deal," refused to dig deeper into the Taliban's real goals (Islamic Emirate), etc. You just sold out your brother, Daniel Pearl, to a bunch of murderous jihadists and a state sponsor of terrorism (Pakistan).
