THE DAVID IRVING HOLOCAUST-DENIAL CASE MIGHT MAKE FOR STRANGE BEDFELLOWS.
So David Irving has gotten three years in an Austrian jail for denying the Holocaust. With Turkey required to do backflips to align its legal code with the European Union’s prior to being considered for EU admission, isn’t it time to consider drumming Austria out for straying so far from European norms on free speech?
I expect Jyllands-Posten and official Iranian news agency IRNA to join forces for an aggressive campaign in Irving’s defense—for very different reasons.
(Thanks to John Brown's Public Diplomacy Review for the initial Reason item.)
