Why haven’t papers been running the Danish cartoons?

Pretty simple really: "This was expressed to
us directly: ‘I’m not putting lives in danger. We’re not getting things
blown up.’"

That’s Harry Siegel’s report of why his former paper’s owners wouldn’t print the cartoons.

He’s a former colleague, and I don’t doubt for a second he’s telling the truth. Fearful editors who refuse to print these cartoons, on the other hand, are lying.
