: It was a barbaric act. But what also struck me was Perl's courage----I don't often use "reporter" and "brave" in the same sentence. He was a reporter, an American, a Jew, in a Muslim hot spot of the world. And he, of all people, probably knew what some of those people were capable of---and he still went on to do his job. That's courage.

I have a quote from Ambrose Redmon on my board at work. It says something like: Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the belief that something else is more important than fear. I've paraphrased it, but you get the idea. I wish I could quote it exactly. Anyway, I believe the thought fits here.
