Wired and Offit being sued over autism/vaccination story?

I've noticed that some blogs are reporting that Wired magazine, respected journalist Amy Wallace and Dr Paul Offit are being sued by some crowd who call themselves the National Vaccine Information Center for libel over the highly regarded article published in the November 2009 edition of Wired that examined the anti-vaccination crowd of cranks and quacks who think jabs cause autism. It sounds to me like lawyers versus journos, or would it be better characterized as loons and celebs versus science? This matter is being compared with the appalling libel suit brought against journalist Simon Singh by the chiropracquacks. This is why people hate lawyers.
