    Default Making Negative Statements About a Foreign Consulate

    My question involves defamation in the state of: Az or all USA.
    My org puts up a wiki about a foreign consulate.
    The consulate is honorary (part time), which does not have immunity.
    The consulate writes demanding 100% editorial control or removal of the page.
    The consulate is offended by bad grammar in the foreign language, image problems, amateurish presentation, minor inaccuracies about events and positions, and a particular characterization of her business, which she says is false (but is clearly not false nor defamatory). A parallel (so that I do not reveal identities here) would be calling mcdonalds a hamburger company, and them not liking that description.

    I am certainly not worried about libel or privacy specifically, just the power imbalance. It gets into international law which may not be covered here, but I think his demand has no right behind it. What do you think?
