Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* an appeals court in Denmark has begun a case against Mohammed Geelle, the Somali man convicted for charges surrounding his entering the home of Danish Muhammed caricaturist Kurt Westergaard with an axe and a knife. They're seeking to raise the length of sentence from nine years to 12 years, which strikes me as an odd general mission for a court, but there you go. A verdict is expected next week.

* one writer questions the general response to the Danish Cartoons in terms of it being a beneficial, Muslim response.

* this article suggests that the much-discussed testimony of David Coleman Headley may have kept the jury from convicting Tahawwur Rana on charges related to the Mumbai Massacre.
