The Path to 9/11 by VivianC2006-11-19 12:55:59
  Maybe what they should use to stop it by Peace_man2006-09-08 06:38:37
    One small snag with that thought though by classic_jon 2006-09-08 07:09:55
Libel can only be pursued if the statements are not true. The key phrase here being "not true."
If all of the statements are true then they can not sue for libel.

Definition of Libel:
a false and malicious publication printed for the purpose of defaming a living person
print slanderous statements against; "The newspaper was accused of libeling him"

Slander is the Verbal version of that:
words falsely spoken that damage the reputation of another
aspersion: an abusive attack on a person's character or good name
defame: charge falsely or with malicious intent; attack the good name and reputation of someone; "The journalists have defamed me!" "The article in the paper sullied my reputation"

the written statement of a plaintiff explaining the cause of action (the defamation) and any relief he seeks
