“The family of Daniel Pearl respectfully requests that his legacy remains non-partisan,” The Wall Street Journal reporter’s relatives said in a statement responding to Cheney’s comments.

“We would like him to be remembered for what he was in his life, a passionate American and humanist who rose above political, religious and cultural divisions,” the family said.

“We ask that Daniel’s tragedy and legacy be used to bring people of all parties together against the hatred that took his life and thousands of others.”

Cheney’s such a scumbag.
