BBC Profiles “Angry Men,” Now Jailed

Although many might object to the characterization of the four men sentenced to jail in Britain yesterday for actions taken during protests in February 2006 triggered by the Danish Cartoons Controversy as "Angry Young Men," this BBC News piece about the four men is probably the most significant feature to arise since the news of the sentencing came out yesterday. For one thing, I didn't know there was a 60-person protest of the sentencing until reading the article. With the recent flash of terrorist activity in that country, and a general intolerance for the more out-there excesses of free speech in many European nations, it's hard to imagine there being much sympathy for anyone choosing to explore some of the potentially unfortunate elements of this case's outcome.
