I think that when you use a word like "criminal" and assert that Saab is aware of a dangerous situation and go on accuse of a cover-up akin to the Ford Explorer/Bridgestone example, you are drawing an extremely thin line between what is "libel" and what is "fair comment." After spending a good 20 minutes reading all of these posts (and that's 20 minutes I will NEVER GET BACK), I think I might find it funny if MB and Saab ended up in litigation. It would at least add to entertainment value. That's not meant to offend MB, who obviously has, in his mind, a very real issue he's dealing with.
