Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* the Canadian news reporter Abbas Rana has come out in defense of his brother, Tahawwur Rana, one of the alleged Mickey Mouse Plot co-conspirators. I'm not sure there's all that much that's newsworthy in such a defense, although it's clear that Rana will be tried on a different track than David Coleman Headley and the family and friends of the Chicago-based travel agency owner have been forthright in their declarations of innocence. One thing I hadn't know is that Headley scouted the Jyllands-Posten newspaper where the Danish Muhammad Cartoons were published as a potential place for Rana's agency to place ads.

* no matter who's guilty and who's innocent, kudos to Abbas Rana's publisher for his public show of support to his not involved save by blood employee during what must be an awful time for that family.

* future US tourists hoping to go to Denmark may need to pass increased security scrutiny if not outright have some sort of purposeful visa. Blame in part goes to the Headley and Rana arrests.
