Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* it's pretty much all Al Qaeda video, all the time in most major outlets. I guess more information has been found on how the pair of Chicago men arrested under suspicion of various terror-related activities planned to target the newspaper Jyllands-Posten that published the Danish cartoons.

* just to say it again, I think the bigger point of those videos (unless someone can provide a compelling counter-argument) is that the attempt to portray Tahawwur Rana as someone who had no clue as to what his friend, the much-more-traveled David Coleman Headley, was up to is wrong. It also shows a willingness for such a suspect to try and control the truth according to evidence provided against him, which I think could be worrying in a larger sense in terms of any wider dialogue.

* the judge presiding over the case has ordered a family visit for Rana, giving his lawyer time to underline the "innocent dupe" concept.
