Re: [silk] Yahoo! News Story - Holocaust Denier Gets Three Years in Jail - Yahoo! News

Two wrongs don't make a right. Kurt Waldheim having got away isn't a good reason for David Irving to get away.

 

He is a vicious, single-minded revisionist, with an unspeakable agenda of reversing historical fact in order to present a coherent antithesis to the mainstream Hitler/Nazi analysis. The sick thing is that he is apparently writing these things in order to carve out a distinct academic position for himself.

So this guy was convicted based on comments he made in 1989, under a law that wasn't enacted until 1992, by which time his view had changed based on 'new evidence'.

He may be a moron (and does look like a nazi), but that's not a crime... so - is he a criminal or victim of politics in a world where people like Kurt Waldheim could become UN SecGen and President of Austria?

Frank,

Thanks to the vagaries of the virtual world, another news item I sent to the list didn't get there. It reported that all seven accused in a case where a young woman was shot to death in front of dozens of people have been acquitted after a long-drawn out trial. All seven were political or industrial barons' brats.

At least Austria jailed this particular bastard. We can't even get murderers.

So Irving is lucky again. If he had been Austrian or
German, he would have ended up in prison for a lot
longer.

Also, he will not be in prison for long, if at all.
