Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* the big news yesterday was Tahawwur Hussain Rana bail hearing. Rana is one of the two suspects in the Mickey Mouse Plot along with David Coleman Headley. Rana is accused of assisting Headley and having plans of his own in terms of either scouting out or performing acts against various targets, primarily the editor of the newspaper that published the Danish Muhammad cartoons, the building housing the paper, and one of the cartoonists participating, Kurt Westergaard. The bail decision was pushed back to December 15, which some took as Rana's failure to win bail. Witnesses at the hearing included Rana's brother in law.

* thanks to ABC News, there are now PDFs of the complaints against Rana and Headley up on-line.

* here's a sympathetic profile of The Cartoons That Shook The World author Jytte Klausen.
