Turkey really needs to get rid of this law altogether. I'm happy they decided on not "guilty".

MrX67, is THIS more of a threat to the existence of Turkish Republic or to democracy and freedom of speech:

"The passage that landed Çalışlar in court quotes a witness as saying how Atatürk, facing an armed attack by political opponent Topal Osman put on a chador to disguise himself as a woman to flee the presidential palace in Ankara."

It's absolutely ridiculous and contradictory for a country that claims to be democratic to put people to jail or in front of the court for such things.

exactly catwoman. As was the lawsuit against Orhan Pamuk.

It's sad to see but other countries don't take the republic of Turkey seriously because of these kind of episodes.

big things like what exactly? the Turkish people overthrowing the government? actually, that is exactly what democracy ought to be all about - people controlling the government and not the other way round. freedom of speech means - freedom to say what you think, even if you have negative opinions.
i think what you're saying is that you think that if people are free, then they will do whatever they want, including killing each other, so actually, those things are universally not allowed and the law system should take care of it. expressing opinions is different then being violent and imposing your views on others.
what is happening in Iraq is horrible because innocent people are paying the price for their government's atrocities and games that they were playing with the US and the rest of the world. so don't let your own government play similar games.
