Outstanding! Maybe it will keep others from shooting off their mouths when they have NO evidence!

Of course some will say that this kind of suit will have a 'chilling effect' on free speech. I say, "Bring on the ice"!!

The laws of defamation trump free speech where the speech purports to be a statement of fact rather than opinion. My money's on the Marines.

I've been in favor of chilling speech since Howard Dean burst upon the scene 3 years ago.
