Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* I'm not sure that I linked to this part of Anders Fogh Rasmussen becoming head of NATO despite objections from Turkey that included but certainly were not limited to that the prime minister's conduct during the Danish Cartoons Controversy was suspect: President Obama's role in Rasmussen getting the position and some of the promises made for it to happen.

* here's a breakdown of a recent poll of attitudes held by Danish Muslims. I don't know the players to speak the accuracy of the polls, nor am I one to shake my fist at people who come at certain issues from a completely different worldview than I have, but I figure the more information the better.

* blasphemous libel even sounds awful.

* finally, more from Flemming Rose on the necessity that newspaper be allowed to publish things like the Muhammed cartoons. I agree with that principle, and we hosted those images on CR in order to fulfill our mandate as a news organization. I remain convinced, however, that the reason someone publishes upsetting imagery can be called into question, particularly when that something breaks with the primary role of the institution involved.
