In US law it can be libelous if it isn't true as long as the person who
said
it didn't mean any mallace by what they said. In Canada and Britain (and
probably at least the rest of the commonwealth), the absence of mallace
doesn't prevent it from being libel.

And even if it is true, there's nothing to say someone won't sue you
anyway...
