Flemming Rose was the editor (Jyllands-Posten) that had the courage to publish the Muhammad cartoons in 2005. He goes into the cartoon crisis, the violent reaction against the journalists that exposed how fragile the right of free expression is throughout the world. He also points out the organizations that should have supported him and the cartoonists were instead censured by them. That list includes Amnesty International and PEN.
