    The story is now online at the Times Web site (with a stunningly interesting picture of Mohammed). The article seems tight and objective, in a super-dry NYT sort of way, so it is missing a lot of the emotion so many of us feel about this situation. If I were not concerned about this on a very human, and simply do-the-right-thing kind of way, I’m not sure the article would inspire outrage. Or action. It is noteworthy, I suppose, that the piece reveals that Palazio failed to return any of the 3 calls made by the NYT reporter. Either he is being very carefully advised by attorneys, or he’s simply who he seems to be. Or both. So … now what? (And great thanks to Bonnie for her commttiment to this.)

    Whoa, Bon! You just washed “bornhere” in the blood of the Lamb.

    Seriously, though, thanks for all you’ve done to mobilize the community on this issue.
