This will be an interesting case to watch, especially given the penchant of some "crusaders" to make outrageous, unchecked claims

The New York Times > Business > Media & Advertising > Seeking U.S. Turf for a Free-Speech Fight: "Michael Gurdak, a lawyer at Jones Day, which represented Mr. Bin Mahfouz in a previous case, disputed the suggestion that the British legal system was being exploited. 'Given that Mr. Bin Mahfouz has no contacts in the United States and substantial contacts in the U.K., there is no basis to characterize much less criticize Mr. Bin Mahfouz's decision to protect his reputation there as forum shopping,' he wrote in an e-mail message. 'To any objective observer, it would be Ms. Ehrenfeld who has been misusing the courts.'"
