Danish papers show some courage

One of the forbidden cartoonsCongratulations to the three Danish newspapers that had the courage to reprint one of the Jyllands-Posten cartoons in the face of an alleged plot to murder the cartoonist who drew it.

This is the correct way to respond to threats -- not by caving in to them, not by dragging people down into a pointless war, but by refusing to surrender one's liberty. It's disappointing that I couldn't find a single English-language article online to match the courage of these Danish publishers and show the cartoons; the terrorists continue to be successful with their censorship. But here's a link to one of the Danish sites.
