Very interesting interview, thanks for posting the link Cindy.

SNIP:
British laws earned the U.K. the label—“libel capital of the Western world.” Bin Mahfouz, and other terror financiers, known as “libel tourists,” use the British laws to veil in secrecy their funding of al Qaeda, other Islamic terror organizations and global propagation of radical Islam. Bin Mahfouz’s legal “victories” in London - he never won on merit- had the desired affect he and other Saudi terror financiers sought: silencing of the media even in the U.S. where the First Amendment protects writers and publishers. But most American book and newspaper publishers are not willing to risk expensive lawsuits in London. In fact, most refuse to publish even the most comprehensively documented reports on alleged wealthy Middle Eastern funding terrorism. And most refrain from writing about this case.
