For a variety of reasons, I have largely refrained from commenting upon Conrad Black's legal issues. In case you're wondering, I remain as confident as ever that he will be vindicated at trial, and I will probably have more to say on the subject in 2007.
But I cannot let this pass: Anyone taking an interest in this case, and in particular those who saw the all-out sliming of Lord Black and his wife in a recently-excerpted passage from a new "biography" by Tom Bower printed in the London Sunday Times and New York Post, should take the time to read this.
Lord Black's response is, I believe, what is known as fisking. And be sure to get to the last paragraph.
