Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* the matter of freedoms afforded a Tunisian man accused of plotting the assassination of Muhammed caricaturist Kurt Westergaard gets explained here. Basically, it's become an issue of "tolerated residence," how much freedom you allow someone within your country that you can't send to his native country because of beliefs he'll be maltreated there.

* speaking of Westergaard, he's apparently provided illustrations to a book called Groft Sagt ("Rough Talk"), collecting Lars Hedegaard's newspaper columns, many of which are apparently extremely critical of Islam. While this is the kind of thing that could certainly lead to some sort of horrible reprisal, it being that kind of world and all, I'm always just a tiny bit suspicious when those kind of news reports accompany something along the lines of a book release.
