Lebanon is suing the International Herald Tribune! Why? They published a pro-Israel ad.

Lebanon to sue Int'l Herald Tribute over pro-Israel ad

Under Lebanese laws, a foreign publication that distributes in Lebanon cannot publish items deemed propaganda for Israel. Lebanon and Israel are technically in a state of war.

Cases relating to newspapers and magazines are covered by a Publications Law and a special court at the early stages.

Charges in the IHT case could include harming national feelings, publishing propaganda for an enemy state and violating an Arab boycott of Israel. Punishment could be a fine of up to 1 million Lebanese pounds ($666) [!!!] or a prison sentence for its Lebanon representative if an intent to cause insult was found.

The dollar amount of the fine is...disturbing.
