Peter K,

Irwin did not claim it happened in the 90s, he said that was when he learned it had happened.

Wolfgang, the history of the laws is interesting. There has been criticism of Austria for not persuing war criminals with such vigour though.

In the muslim world much is being made of this. They do see it as meaning that our devotion to freedom of speech is selective. Perhaps those post war laws in Austria and Germany should be brought up to date?
