[Peter Lavelle]

Having visited what remains of every Nazi death camp during my time in  Poland, I am simply shocked to come across these “deniers.” I don’t  believe in jail time for these people, but I am all for denying them  public access to spread these lies. On my Russia list, if someone wrote  what I read on the LBO on this subject I would ban them in a heartbeat!

Yeah, I didn't either. I don't think Holocaust deniers should be 
jailed, but I really wouldn't waste more than a few keystrokes making 
that point. Though they'd have to be on any list of the unjustly 
imprisoned, they're way down on the priority list.
