Update on Libel Tourism and the Case of Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld and Her Saudi Fans

This is a great update from FrontPage Magazine on the entire wave of anti-libel tourism, and free speech activism currently being led by Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld.

If you haven't read the history of Dr. Ehrenfeld and her adoring Saudi fans, you really should get up to speed. "Rachel's Law" is an important way to push back the Wahabi mafiosos that would silence free speech in the Western world

"At least 45 libel judgments in London, by Mahfouz alone, against many American writers and publishers have literally silenced American and Western media from reporting mostly on Arab/Muslim support for terrorism. The Free Speech Protection Act will remove the chilling effect of the British and other foreign libel laws from American writers, who will be able to report freely on matters critical to American national security. "

Ehrenfeld continues:

"The Free Speech Protection Act has wide support from most free speech organizations on both ends of the political spectrum. Many have petitioned the Judiciary Committee to pass the bill. The universal acknowledgment that this law is necessary and the fact that it does not have any budget attached, should motivate Congress to hold hearings and pass the Free Speech Protection Act without further delay.

"The U.S. is the only country in the world to enshrine free speech in its Constitution. Congress should see to it that we are fully protected."
