Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* a Danish court has extended the detention of the two Tunisians allegedly involved in a plot to kill the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard and his wife, so that it will go until that time they are deported. The defense is calling for a trial based on human rights issues. Westergaard was one of the artists providing caricatures of Muhammed to the publication Jyllands-Posten. His portrait of Muhammed with a bomb for a turban was one of the most potent of the images.

* this writer proclaims that no cartoon is as blasphemous as the horrors visited upon people by suicide bombers.

* an editorial in the Bangkok Post also decries the excessive qualities of the reaction to the cartoons.
