Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

While there's a bunch of material out there right now on how David Coleman Headley's testimony at the trial of Chicago businessman Tahawwur Rana has brought to light -- or cast into more public light -- various charges he's made about the Pakistani intelligent services' involvement with the Mumbai Massacre, fewer article have focused on accusations that Rana and Headley plotted against the Jyllands-Posten newspaper office. This article describes the defense strategy a bit. While some thought, myself included, that Rana might emphasize any work done towards the goal of disrupting/damaging the newspaper as a way to discredit Mumbai-related charges, Rana's team seems to be emphasizing the lack of communication between Rana and Headley on what they called the "Mickey Mouse Plot" or MMP as a way of generally asserting that Rana's goals were not militant as much as business-oriented.
