The Pearl Project
The Pearl Project spent more than 3 year investigating the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. The investigation found that the kidnapping and murder was a multi-faceted, at times chaotic conspiracy. While only four men were convicted by Pakastani courts in the kidnapping and murder, the Pearl Project has identified 27 men who played a part in the events surrounding the case. It concluded that nearly half of those implicated in Pearl's abduction-murder remain free.

The story reveals that Cipla has offered "to sell a triple combination of "antiretroviral" AIDS drugs to the international aid group Doctors Without Borders at less than $1 a day per patient..." The reporter finds that even though "multinational pharmaceuticals companies dismiss Cipla and its peers as "patent" pirates," the smaller rivals are "transforming the debate over how to provide critical medicines to poor nations."
