I witnessed Dan’s ability to “think under fire” (also the title of one of his many books), to think creatively, and to apply his legal acumen and virtuosity as he challenged a decision made against me in a libel suit brought in London by a Saudi billionaire who attempted to intimidate me into silence, as he did with others who exposed his funding of al Qaeda. The ruling was made by a British judge who publicly stated his dislike of Americans and their First Amendment rights.
