Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* sentences in the attempted arson of Lars Vilks home. I'm not sure if this is totally correct or not, but a two-year and a three-year sentences seems to me more than what observers believed the two accused young men could get. Vilks was not an original Danish Cartoons cartoonist but an artist who made a kind of scribble drawing of a dog with Muhammed's head in the extended wake of the 2005 incident and 2006 riots, casting his lot in a certain way for better or for worse.

* could the reprinting of the Danish cartoons in a Norwegian newspaper be what got Norway on the al-Qaeda anti-valentine list?

* this still seems to be the primary article on Molly Norris being named as a potential target for reprisal by an American-born Muslim cleric. No threats at the paper to which she contributes, FBI warning her, no comment on additional law enforcement protection. There was a blog posting up Tuesday that for the life of me I can't find now that used testimony from a neighbor to suggest there might be some provided protection, but even when I could find it it sounded tenuously sourced.
