Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* Kurt Westergaard reminds the press that the bomb-in-turban image that is sometimes reported in shorthand as a depiction of Muhammad? Not Muhammad.

* I wasn't sure people really made that mistake, but it appears they do.

* someone's looking to save the US courts the cost of future David Coleman Headley trials.

* finally, this article suggests that Christopher Hitchens is making a big deal of some state department statement that expresses regret over the insult caused by the Danish Cartoons in a lecture-circuit stump speech on free expression. That just seems silly to me, although Hitchens tends to be a pretty rigorous argument-maker.
