#1 I am on tenterhooks waiting for his defense. By choosing to not speak on his own behalf, he has defied his enemies, who were hoping he would rant and rave on the stand.

So what will it be?

Perhaps his attorney will say something that will strongly appeal to the Dutch, but just technically crosses the legal line, so the court orders his attorney to shut up.

Or, more typically, they might go for the gold with a "truth is a defense" tack, which is not popular in the EU, if so among the people.

He also must consider whether an acquittal, if he gets one, would be appealed to a higher court controlled by his enemies, and with no jury.

#2 It might have been interesting if he had done nothing except get up there and quote the Quaran.

"Our children have become unsure about their future ... in this climate of discrimination, hate and enmity as propagated by Mr. Wilders."

What they are really afraid of is that their children would have any suggestion to doubt Islam or (gasp!) be exposed to other religions which (gasp again!) value life and love instead of death and murder. Or (OMG! gap a third time!) be exposed to actual Jews and find out that they aren't the inhuman bloodsucking monsters their parents and Imans made them out to be.

That is what keeps them up at night.

#5 To paraphrase James Taranto "Theo Van Gogh could not be reached for comment".
