Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

Just a single story today: the Amman court trying the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard and 19 journalists in absentia for either making or utilizing the Danish Muhammed cartoons that were published in Jyllands-Posten in 2005 has now postponed that trial until May 22. While I suspect the idea is that the unique brand of absurdity represented by the trial be parceled out over a longer period of time, the article insists that the delay is in order for lawyers to arrange witnesses to testify. It's believe that even if found guilty, Westergaard and the others would also serve any sentence in absentia, which is the best way to serve such things.
