Chicago Tribune print edition covers the cartoons, directs readers to a Belgian web site to view them

In Sunday's Chicago Tribune perspective section, Pat Oliphant has an article about the Danish cartoon controversy (free registration required) where the cartoonist explains why he wouldn't undertake a similar project about Muhammad.

Of course the Trib didn't publish the cartoons on the print or internet editions. In the print edition, the Tribune gave a rough description of some of the cartoons. At the end of that little article, readers are directed to the Brussels Journal web site, specifically at http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/698, to see what all the fuss is about. Couldn't they have just shown the Muhammad drawings?

Oh, to see the cartoons on that site, you have to do some scrolling.
