Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* the bail request by accused Mickey Mouse plot co-conspirator Tahawwur Hussein Rana continues to wind its way through court, despite additional charges against Rana related to the 2008 Mumbai shootings that were brought to bear last week. Rana is expected in court Wednesday to respond to the latest prosecutor team objections to having him released on some sort of bail. Those objections are focused on the severity of that accusations, evidence that runs contrary to the assertions from friends and family that Rana was more of a dupe in a relationship with fellow accused David Coleman Headley, and the fact that Rana ran a travel agency for several years and with family in Canada and close connections in the local community would have multiple avenues to flee.

* the Chicago Tribune ran a lengthy profile over the weekend of David Coleman Headley's lawyer, John Theis.

* it looks like the fall-out from what many expected to be a mass reprinting of the Danish Cartoons after cartoonist Kurt Westergaard was attacked in his home was limited to a Norwegian newspaper formally republishing them and a member of parliament employing one of the images as a facebook photo. A small group burned a flag and posed for photos in protest.
