“Muhammad Images” Gets Prominent Mention in New Article

The article provides a good summary of the original "Yale controversy" and of the various reactions to it. "Media EthicsMedia Ethics Yale University Press Withdraws Controversial Artwork from Book about Danish Cartoons" http://www.silha.umn.edu/news/index.php?entry=211927

I "fixed" two of the quotes:

“NPR reported that one of the experts who advised against publishing the photos was former Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte. ‘I felt that there was a considerable risk that more violence, possibly even resulting in serious injury or death, could occur as a result of the publication of [the Declaration of Independence],’ Negroponte said.”

“Protests and riots in the Middle East and Africa [triggered by the bargain-basement mysticism of Islam] following the initial publication of the cartoons in 2006 resulted in the deaths of over 200 people.”
