Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

We may be less than a week away from jury verdicts on the various charges facing Chicago businessman Tahawwur Rana. Rana is facing charges related to his aiding and abetting David Coleman Headley in various scouting and advance missions for terrorists, including a planned attack on the Jyllands-Posten newspaper where the Danish Muhammed caricatures were originally published. Because Headley has confessed to a large number of scouting activities that led to the Mumbai Massacre, and because he's claimed Pakistani intelligence services involved, reporters from that part of the world have covered the trial extremely closes. Its centerpiece, Headley's testimony against his childhood friend and the subsequent cross-examination, took up nearly five days of court time.

Yesterday and today was apparently testimony to bolster Headley's testimony that Rana was more involved with the planning and aims of Headley's travel than he claims -- he claims to have been totally duped. This included some of his e-mail through Yahoo, apparently the e-mail of choice when it comes to bizarre activity even tangentially related to the Danish cartoons and other nefarious goings-on.
