Yesterday’s Sunday Times carried a good piece on US legislators’ attempts to bring in laws to counteract English libel laws. Index on Censorship editor Jo Glanville contributed this:

“By contrast, many of these libel tourism claims are not about disputing factual errors, they are really about shutting up critics who have exposed serious abuses.”
