Getting Carried Away

MEMRI has threatened legal action against history professor and weblogger Juan Cole. I don't read Cole's weblog, but I assume I would disagree with his many of his views. But from MEMRI's letter I see no accuastions that would rise to the level of libel. Either MEMRI can constructively refute Cole's accusations, or he should be ignored. A lawsuit would only waste all parties' time and hurt MEMRI's reputation.
