Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* Carsten Juste, Kurt Westergaard and Flemming Rose are still on the official al Qaeda death list, the Copenhagen Post reports. It's done so casually it's easy to ignore, but this kind of thing proves that it's arbitrary, grinding politics as usual. On a list made up because of rigid, principled religion objection, Westergaard wouldn't be singled out of all the cartoonists.

* posters seeking to get their viewers to "lighten up" have been ripped down from some of the places they were hung around Auckland. Included among the equal-opportunity offerings are posters featuring the Pope as a pedophile and Muhammad as a suicide bomber.

* so apparently a new Flemming Rose book will include the cartoons; this article looks at potential Danish industry ramifications.
