Daniel J. Kornstein, August 7, 2011 (Funding Evil, page 246)

Updated expanded edition with new preface and afterward by the author.

In this latest edition, Dr. Ehrenfeld describes what it took to successfully challenge the lawfare launched by Saudi billionaire Khalid bin Mahfouz who funded al-Qaeda, as a weapon to silence her and others from exposing him and other funders of terror. Dr. Ehrenfeld’s initiative and efforts led to the passage New York State’s anti-libel tourism “Rachel’s Law ” and the national SPEECH Act, signed into law in August 2010. These laws protect American writers and publishers in print and on the Internet from the enforcement of foreign libel judgments in the United States that are at odds with the First Amendment of the Constitution.
