News from the World of SLAPP Suits

"One of the most-wanted Nazi war crimes suspects in the Simon Wiesenthal Center's 'Operation Last Chance' is suing the man who identified him in the alleged crimes, the center announced on Monday.

"According to the center, 92-year-old Croat Milivoj Asner is suing Alen Budaj for libel in a case that opened in a Zagreb court on Monday. Asner fled from Croatia to Hungary last year after Budaj provided documents identifying him as being complicit in the persecution and deportation of hundreds of Serbs, Jews and Gypsies to concentration camps."

Perhaps Counterpunch can file a friend of the court brief? After all, Asner here (I love the name) was on the right side of World War II, against US imperialism and Zionism. I'm sure he agrees with the arguments pushed by the Moonbats nowadays concerning Hiroshima and Dresden and the generally co-equal character of the combatants in WW II.

Come on, Counterpunch, call your lawyer!
