Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* only one today, but it's a doozy: the radical Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaki has placed Molly Norris on a list of people he'd like to see killed for their crimes against Islam. Norris was the Seattle-based cartoonist who in response to the censorship that settled around the television show for their recent Muhammed-related program suggested "Everybody Draw Muhammed" day in tongue-in-cheek fashion in one of her cartoons. When people began to take that proposal seriously, sponsoring such an event through Facebook, Norris declined to endorse that formal effort and tried as best as she could to back away from the entire enterprise. Apparently, none of that matters to al-Awlaki.

Other cartoonists were named on the Las Cruces-born al-Awlaki's lists from the Netherland, Sweden and Great Britain, but I have yet to see them named in any of the news reports. This article suggests that there is already an increased security presence around Norris.
