'A Mickey Mouse atrocity' - free speech .... anyone?

For anyone who is at all concerned at the threat to freedom of speech and expression in the societies which gave birth to them, here are two speeches given at "The Danish Muhammad Cartoon Crisis In Retrospect" Conference, hosted by The Danish Free Press Society, Trykkefrihedsselskabet, in September. The first is given by Douglas Murray, the second by Mark Steyn. They are accessible and entertaining enough to be worth hearing in full, especially by those who believe, as many now seem to accept,  that - in the context of freedom of speech -  it is possible to be 'a little bit pregnant.'...  as it were.
