heard we were at the same theater the other night - i was at pommagrantes and myrrh in ann arbor.

anyway, do let me know what you think...i can't necessarily show any particular damages, other than perhaps one thing...i have been turned down for a couple of jobs specifically because of some of the PR out there about me - in particular there was a situation with human rights watch. i am not sure i can get definitive statement that it was because of schlussel, but perhaps this can be an example of how damages can be caused because of this kind of libel? basically i was offered a position with HRW, and the offer was then rescinded when the head of HRW intervened and said that i could not be hired because it would cost the org. funding in the jewish community... i might be able to get someone to give me a statement from HRW to that effect. this was communicated to me orally when it happened.

Hi Haytham, Adam,

I wanted to put you two in touch regarding the possible defamation suit. Haytham, I'm not sure if Adam has the time/energy/finances to seek a lawyer to take this on, but if you are willing, please communicate as to what would be required, e.g. what you would need.

Best,
Huwaida
