Not to mention that the guy's trying to sue libel for an editor adding to wiki how he was called a 'family disgrace' in several international newspapers.
Have newspapers been sued for things like this before? Can one be sued for libel for publicly available information (made public before they repeated it)?

I suppose one can be sued for anything, no matter how stupid it is...
But, yeah, how can I be sued if I just quote another person. "Random2 said he thinks you are a jackass."
If you really said it, how can they get mad at me?
