Striking a blow for press freedom everywhere

I do think the freedom of speech issues around the cartoons are complicated, and I want to write some more about it.

But I can't understand any view where The Dominion Post and Press editors are seen as anything but chickenshit, up themselves, self-important, waste of space. The latest developed is:

Two newspapers that printed controversial cartoons have apologised for causing offence and agreed not to use them again.

Just when you think you couldn't respect them any less.
