Libération, the left-leaning French daily, republished two of the cartoons, referring to them as "exhibits in the case" for free expression. "While criticizing the caricatures as mediocre, the newspaper said its decision had been taken out of a concern to reaffirm values which were being damaged in France. 'Libération defends the freedom of expression,' was the headline over the cartoons, one of which depicted the Prophet Mohammed on a cloud, telling suicide bombers to stop because heaven had run out of virgins."
