This couldn't happen in the United States of Lawyers. Let losing plaintiffs go bankrupt? Why that would destroy our wonderful legal system.

Even loser pays doesn't work. Who has three and a half million bucks to defend oneself against a libel suit?

[dighton]

A real historian would have been warned off by the outcome of Oscar Wilde (plaintiff), v. John Douglas Sholto, 9th Marquess of Queensberry (defendant).

"If Irving is claiming these days that the Holocost did not indeed happen, he has indeed gone thoroughly round the bend."

If anyone has any doubts, they should ask the American soldiers who helped liberate the camps. Many STILL have nightmares.

[mrustow]

While I feel bad for any writer who has his papers and pc disks seized, Irving started the suit, deserved to lose, and got his comeuppance.

Not only is the man a liar, in denying the Holocaust ever happened, but a coward and a hypocrite, to boot. I've seen film footage of him addressing, in German, adoring neo-Nazis (I am a German speaker). I've also seen film of him saying, in English, in a different venue, that the Jews have suffered so much through the years, that they should consider that their having caused the whole world to hate them must be based on some moral failing of theirs. But the whole context of the foregoing statement was that the Holocaust DID happen. What sense would it make to say, 'The Holocaust never happened, and the Jews brought it on themselves'?

If man is the courageous truth-teller he fancies himself to be, why does he speak with a forked-tongue?

However, Mr Justice Gray ruled that Irving was "an active Holocaust denier, anti-Semitic and racist" who had "distorted historical data to suit his own ideological agenda." He ordered the author to meet the entire costs of the case - some £2.5 million.

I feel so sorry for him. BWaHaHaHaHaHaHaHahaHaHaHaHa!

Let this be a lesson to all historical revisionists. Reap what you have sown, a**holes.

Too bad we can't be as just here in the good ol' USA. Need a little Tort reform. But the mere thought makes Washington DC nauseous.

Goodwin, Barnacle, Chomsky et. al. beware. Your day of reconning is coming.
