You know "Sal", I actually agree with you that this is an important 
trial...particularly the verdict, in which the court found that
Irving had indeed fabricated his so-called history in order to
further his anti-semitic, neo-nazi political agenda.

And it has systematically discredited the entire corpus of "revisionist
history" in the process. From Leuchter to Irving, the whole panoply
of revisionist authors were shown to have misquoted their "supporting"
documents, falsified quotes, fabricated evidence, and lied about
basic science.

Would that it were so, "Sal".

And he *lost*, even though the standard of proof for libel of public
figures like Irving is much lower under British law than American law.

>Irving angered Lipstadt and worldwide Jewish organizations 

To say nothing of every legitimate WWII historian on the planet as well.
