Great post. One thing I am torn about is the threats themselves. If we want to encourage freedom of speech and the media to publish whatever they want, even if it offends, it seems like a logical way to do that would be to make even the voicing of threats unprotected speech. That is, even if it is not a direct threat, but a veiled one, such as the one given by Revolution Muslim, the people that sent the threat should be quickly and forcefully prosecuted for committing a crime. The moral dilemma is that this itself seems to limit free speech. How can we allow the media to publish any parody or mock any religion, and at the same time keep extremists from making threats? I don't think it's sufficient to try to find the killers after they've already killed. I truly think this needs to be dealt with in a "Minority Report" style of thoughtcrime, as scary as that sounds to me.
