What do people think about this? Should Irving be in jail?

No, but his books should, by law, have some sort of statement put on the covers, something to the effect that his views were refuted, are considered historically inaccurate and unsupported, and that the author was censured for a form of historical revisionism that, if accepted uncritically, could motivate hate crimes.

They publish Mein Kampf, don't they? The Satanic Bible? The Anarchist's Cookbook? They used to allow the Saudis to fill US prisons with Wahhabi-biased and distorted Korans...maybe they still do. Then there's all the extreme evangelical Christian stuff...caveat lector.
