The truth is a defence now, but it wasn't for a long time.  Plus it
would be libel, not defamation because it is written and persistent
(i.e. the archives of the list will remain online indefinitely).

Besides, Skeeve's current post just says that Mr. Raams was the
spokesperson in this case.  Since Mr. Raams has already confirmed he
discussed this case with the AFP and others, I don't see how Skeeve's
post from a fw hours ago is either libellous or defamatory.
