German multiplex giant CinemaxX has pulled the Turkish action blockbuster "Valley of the Wolves: Iraq" :: Reuters.co.uk - "The move follows a targeted media campaign by German politicians who claim the movie is "hateful and dangerous" because it depicts U.S. troops in Iraq committing multiple atrocities and because one of its bad guys, played by Busey, is a Jewish-American doctor dealing in stolen organs."

FALSE ATTRIBUTION: slagothor, I went looking for your source. It is NOT from Volokh. It is from a commenter at Volokh. There's a big difference.
Just because Volokh let a comment stand does not mean he endorses it. There'd be no point in allowing comments only if you endorsed them - that shuts off learning.
I also subscribe to the belief that the best way to defeat misguided or malevolent ideas is to give them a public airing.
I agree with your point that the UAE ought to more directly confront accusations. It would be healthy and it would be productive.
So, no, I'm glad to have your comment stand. Just wanted it made clear that Volokh wasn't the source of the quote.
It could be countered if one did something besides roll up the tent and turn on the proxy everytime the press asks pointed questions. Same thing happened when the Harvard gave back the money - UAE never adequately repudiated some of the stuff put out by the Zayed Centre although the ZC was reformed. If memory serves didn't Gore accept big bucks from the ZC - before the reform?
Bingo: "zayed centre" "al gore" - Google Search
No matter. Harvard thumbed its nose at Larry Summers, too. Zayed and Summers are both gentlemen and heroes in my book.
