Holocaust Denier David Irving Pleads Guilty

The once-respected historian David Irving insisted for many years that the Holocaust was a hoax and that there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz. Oops. I don't like the idea of people being tried in court for their opinions -- however noxious or stupid or evil -- but it is enjoyable to hear Irving plead guilty in Vienna. His explanation?

"History is a constantly growing tree - the more you know, the more documents become available, the more you learn, and I have learned a lot since 1989."

Oh well, of course. All those "the Holocaust really happened" breakthroughs we've enjoyed since 1989.
