Go, Read: Mohammed al-Asaadi and the Yemen Observer: One Year Later

"I don't think that we were stupid, but rather, that we were too rational at the wrong moment."

Former Yemen Observer Editor-in-Chief Mohammed al-Asaadi, currently a fellow at Syracuse University, talks about the closure of his newspaper and his own jailing during last year's cartoons controversy swirling around reactions to the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammed in a Danish newspaper in Fall 2005.

This may be the most compelling thing I've read on the subject of the Danish cartoons, and I urge you to read it.
