Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* the trial of Tahawwur Rana begins in February. Rana was the man arrested along with David Coleman Headley and charged with supporting Headley in efforts that included plans to blow up the newspaper building where the Danish Cartoons were initially processed. Headley pleaded guilty and has basically been unfurling his version of the truth in the direction of various sets of authority figures ever since.

* any conversations or meetings focusing on the relationship between Denmark and Turkey will engender discussion about the back and forth between the countries over the Danish Cartoons.

* hmm...

* I always feel bad about linking to things at Huffington Post because despite the fact it's completely illogical I always feel like I'm watching people being bullied into performing at the piano after being served -- or at least promised -- a meal. One of the writers posting things over there wonders out loud why the New York Times feels comfortable posting things from WikiLeaks and didn't feel comfortable posting the Danish cartoons. I don't even know if that make a ton of sense -- are those things really comparable beyond being things that can be published in a newspaper -- but it's certainly a novel approach. I think the major papers should have published the cartoons when what they looked like became a key news story, and I'm not sure a comparison to a right-now issue really strengthens what I see as a fairly obvious issue.
