VIENNA, Austria -- British historian David Irving was arrested last week in southern Austria on a warrant accusing him of denying the Holocaust... Irving was detained on a warrant issued in 1989 under Austrian laws that make Holocaust denial a crime... If formally charged, tried and convicted on the charge, Irving could face up to 20 years in prison
So it seems like the thought police are after the Records Department... I wonder if they passed this "thoughtcrime" law as a sort of "penance" for being "involved" in the Holocaust or if they just really are trying to live out the maxim that "those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it"...
