>> I still think the libel laws need gutting, but it'll be interesting to see them used to spectacular effect against someone who should know exactly how much trouble they'll get in.

We can only hope that by actions like these people can scare the lawmakers into actually doing something about our stupid laws....

Or if not, at least we can watch and laugh as they're on the receiving end.

This case isn't the best reference for why the laws are stupid. Publicly accusing someone of a crime without any sort of evidence just because they're reporting on it _should_ bloody well be libel.

I suppose that's a good point.

I still enjoy watching politicians squirm :)
