Book Distributor Concedes Freedom of Speech
Publisher Roger Kimball has noted that when he was about to publish "Andy McCarthy's Willful Blindness: Memoir of the Jihad," he received a message from a distributor working in the U.K. and Canada asking if there were "any references to Saudis and terrorist(s) in the book" as that "could potentially create libel lawsuits as it could offend Saudis living in England and this has happened with many other U.S. publications and we do not want to be jeopardized in selling this book."

On the plus side, the publisher did not concede. He published the book.
