Quarterman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For IP: It seems the first publication to republish the famous cartoons was in... Egypt: http://egyptiansandmonkey.blogspot.com/2006/02/boycott-egypt.html In the newspaper Al Fagr, on 17 October 2005, four months ago: http://freedomforegyptians.blogspot.com/2006/02/egyptian-newspaper-pictures-that.html The editors of that paper are not apologizing, yet nobody is burning Egyptian flags. It makes you wonder who decided months later to make an issue out of the cartoons. Who stands to benefit by this cartoon row? Also it's impressive that the blogosphere turned this up when the traditional news media and numerous state departments couldn't seem to. I bet the Danish Prime Minister would have liked to know this before he met with Egypt's Ambassador in early February: http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/02/03/cartoon.wrap.friday.ap/ - -jsq -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD7dJotcdvoAezhUsRAmiXAKCkg9OV3DkSumGcfrsGjfGOA3myQQCcDGos fL7feaaYVEBFqtXydsYwJzs= =v/Pb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as [email protected] To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
