Lebanon's Free Press

I have no opinion on the actual outcome of the slander case, but you've got to admire this account of it. From Ya Libnan's website:

"The newspaper owned by the Hariri family (Al Mustaqbal) was fined for damaging the reputation of Lebanon's disgraced president, referring to him as 'His Excellency the Murderer,' following the murder of PM Rafik Al-Hariri in 2005."[emphasis mine]

Sure, Lahoud might've won the case. But the Lebanese press isn't going to stop saying what they think about him. Good for them.
