Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* here's a cheat sheet I guess for those that believe Freedom of Speech to be a vital human issue of shattering importance but can't be bothered to spend more than five minutes researching the specific issue involved.

* this article makes a nice, succinct point that the Danish Cartoons Controversy was caused by outside agitation over completely different issues with the cartoons themselves as a smokescreen. They also call it "The Danish Cartoon War," which I support so I'll have cooler stories to tell my grandchildren someday.

* the Danish caricatures of Muhammed that started it all are still on the political table. "Befoul" is an awesome word.
