Musa Kart Decision: Cats = Cute?

Scroll down for some analysis of the legal decision by which the Musa Kart Cat cartoon conviction was overturned by a high Turkish court. The admonishment that a government official like Prime Minister Erdogan should have more tolerance according to his position is an interesting take; on the other hand, the assertion that this could not be an insult because "cats are cute creatures that share the lives of millions of people throughout the world" sounds a bit dubious to me, although I agree with its general sentiment. If this were argued in court as a kind of "Lookum kitty, pretty kitty wuvs you" defense, I want to spend some time hanging out at the back of Turkey's courtrooms.
