Pearl Appeals 9-11 Fund Rejection
By Ria Marie Davis
Mariane Pearl, widow of Wall Street reporter Daniel Pearl, has lodged a
formal appeal with the September 11 victims' fund to be compensated for the
death of her husband. Pearl, a French citizen, say that her husband as a U.S.
citizen was "a victim of the attacks because he was targeted by Islamic
extremists."
Robert Kelner, the widow's reporter, told the Times, "What's horribly,
painfully obvious is that if Danny Pearl had come from any other country in
the world, he'd be alive today. And because there is a 9-11 fund which is
compensating people for the exact same kind of death, we feel that Danny
should be included as a victim in the same class as other victims."
Pearl filed the appeal after it was denied by the fund three weeks ago.
Special master of the fund, Kenneth Feinberg said he denied the application
because it did not meet the government's stipulation that victims had to have
died in New York, Pennsylvania or Washington as a result of the September 11
attack. "I'm very sympathetic to the inquiry, but the statute is the statute,
and I do not have any discretion," Feinberg told the Times.
A CNN report stated that Pearl's application "does raise the fundamental
question as to why 9-11 - and not other terrorist attacks or other acts of
terror both at home or abroad - is covered," Feinberg said. "I think Congress
will address at some point whether the 9-11 compensation fund should be a
precedent for future compensation or whether it is a unique response to a
unique historical event."
Daniel Pearl was working in Karachi, a city in Pakistan, when he was
kidnapped on January 23, 2002. Four Islamic militants have been convicted for
his kidnapping, but a CNN report said that seven other suspects who allegedly
slit the journalist's throat in front of a video camera have still not been
captured. Mariane Pearl told the Times that it has been difficult to maintain
herself and her son, Adam, who is 2 years old, since the death of her
husband. At the Journal, Daniel Pearl earned about $100,000 a year.
Charlene Talbot, a junior telecommunications management major, said, "I don't
think they owe it to her, but it would be a nice thing to do, because her
case is unique. If the fund was set up for the families of those victims of
911, then she doesn't qualify. Again it is a unique situation, but if the
fund turns her down I am sure she would receive funding from elsewhere."
Stephanie Morse agreed: "It's a sad situation. I hope she obtains funding
whether it is from the government or a private source." The 911 fund has
distributed awards estimated at $1.4 million each so far. Feinberg says that
about $5 billion would be paid out in total.
