involving public safety, quite a stretch for Leuchter's expertise,
which is directed toward insuring rapid death!
Leuchter does not distribute his report, other entities do that.
Trombley makes no mention of the report in his account of the
case, only the matter of the use of the title engineer, which has
nothing to do with the report since the report has nothing to do
with work in Massachussets.
Leonard Zakim, a spokesperson for the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith, said,
"Leuchter's admissions of lying to promote his
business in violation of Massachusetts law should
serve to discredit Leuchter wherever he travels."
A typical ADL smear tactic, Leuchter's credibility is in no way
discredited by the Massachussets/New York travesty of
justice. A biased court surrounded by several hundred
screaming demonstrators made a ludicrous interpretation of a
law and applied it against an unpopular defendant. None of
this has a thing to do with the scientific data contained in that
report, data later supported by several other sources whose
qualifications no one argues. Leanard Zakim's statement is
pure and hateful propaganda intended to silence those who
threaten his livelihood.

Comments from Fred Leuchter
Dear David Thomas,
Your remarks after the Irving to Shallit letter are not entirely
true.
The Massachusetts Court refused to interpret the law publicly,
although it did privately, and forced both parties..i.e. The
Commonwealth and Leuchter into a settlement as a trial
would not be beneficial to either. Leuchter entered into an
agreement with the Engineering Board to do none of the
things that he never did in the first place and not to recant or
change anything he ever did or said, in return for the board's
dropping of the complaint. Leuchter agreed in a pretrial mutual
promise with the Commonwealth that in return for the
Commonwealth dropping its illegal prosecution of him he
would not break the law by saying things or doing things he
had never done or said in the first place. Leuchter never
admitted to any wrong doing or ever did any wrong. He simply
agreed to be a law abiding citizen (which he had been all his
life) for 2 years more. Even after the 2 years he still has not
broken the law.
Please consider this and restate your description. I am sick of
people misunderstanding what took place in Cambridge
Court.
