Some Yuletide revelry may be in order for fans of Patrick Byrne’s “Deep Capture” site. The Canadian court has lifted its injunction  against the site, after assurances from Mr. Byrne’s lawyers that he would indeed be presenting a defense of his alleged libels of one Altaf Nazerali, a stock promoter, already possessed of a questionable reputation before the Deep Capture crew tarnished its luster.

So much for earlier assertions that Mitchell and Byrne had NO defense and had conceded as much in their casual comments on the case.

I got the news from an article posted at Seeking Alpha by their inveterate foe, Gary Weiss, who has now also added Ron Paul to his hit list:

From the Weiss article:

 “The contempt motion, which was filed against Byrne and Mitchell, was to be heard on Dec. 13, but has been put off until a date in the new year that has yet to be determined. So stay tuned.

Meanwhile, I understand, the court lifted an injunction that had shuttered Deep Capture, based on assertions by Byrne’s lawyer that he will indeed be putting up a defense! If he isn’t allowed to run to the border, that is. So you will soon see Byrne’s smears up on the Internet again, for the time being.”

“Smear” in this context just means that a few journalists got the same treatment they so generously dole out to other people…
