From Manjeet Kripalani
Bombay bureau chief, Business Week
Monday, January 28, 2002
My heart is breaking. Danny is one of six of us foreign correspondents in Bombay, and we all keep in active touch with each other. He was the last person to take a poor risk, especially because he and Mariane are so much in love, he would never do anything to jeopardize their happy lives. He's a very mild kind of person, sweet and kind. Someone betrayed him.
We are contacting our sources here in India for information on Danny. But meanwhile, can you urge every reporter you know, especially the ones in Washington covering the White House and attending the daily briefings, as also all reporters in Islamabad who attend the foreign press daily briefings, to ask EVERY SINGLE DAY about Danny's disappearance? We have to keep up the heat and create a terrible stink so that Danny stays on
everyone's radar screen every single day until he is found.
We must help. Somebody should protest loudly - we should. We are losing our own in large numbers, and we are not paid to die.
Regards,
Manjeet
