A commonsense view of David Irving

The BBC reports that Deborah Lipstadt, one of David Irving's major adversaries and one whom he has pursued (unsuccessfully) through the courts, thinks that he should be let go. Professor Lipstadt is quoted as saying "I am uncomfortable with imprisoning people for speech. Let him go and let him fade from everyone's radar screens." IMO an eminently commonsensical view.
