The fact that the >government's version of history in this instance is undoubtedly true is >beside the point. Give me a break.. In a trial, using expert witnesses, whose accreditations were vetted by both prosecution and defence, testified to facts based on their knowledge on their explorations of the incidents of the holocaust. Opinions on both side were ventured and afterwords the court decided that the opinions ventured by thye accused were known to be false and made to incite hatred against a known group. This, akin to the american process, is a basic law that was applied by a court of law where the onus of proof was on the prosecution to show the intent of the accused. There is no bill ever passed that gives the official history of the holocaust. At least not in reality, and not in Canada. -- ~~ Mike Upmalis (mupmalis@watarts)
