   Before reading this, I stumbled over a news item by the Iranian "Press TV",

presented as one of eight "Top Stories" on their website. The headline alone

Czech Republic expels Holocaust questioner
.........................................................................

The former Ku Klux Klan leader, David Duke, has been expelled from the 
Czech Republic over questioning the Holocaust in his latest book.

According to his lawyer Klara Slamova, Czech authorities ordered Duke to 
leave the country on Friday after he was arrested and questioned by police 
on suspicion of denying the Holocaust in his book "My Awakening".

The lawyer said she would lodge a complaint against the police on behalf of 
the 59-year-old American Duke, the Czech news agency CTK said.

The Czech interim prime minister-designate, Jan Fischer, said on Czech 
television that Duke's opinions in his book were "simply unacceptable, 
incomprehensible".

Duke was invited to the Czech Republic at the invitation of a local far-right 
group, Narodni Odpor (National Resistance), and had planned to give lectures 
in Prague and Brno and promote a book.

Duke once held a seat in Louisiana's state House of Representatives.
