Is stating Tony is a war criminal libelous?

Recieved this email and from our friends @ 10 Downing Street regarding the petition I submitted to send our beloved dictator to the Hague.

Sorry Kat... apparently your amazing work of literature and those fliers I love so dear is apparently libelous??? Does Nuremburg Law ever come into the mix?
