There is a gag order on details of Olmert`s bribery crimes. The accuser, Morris Talansky, wants it lifted. He fears that, "Olmert will try to get me." Yet the order will only be partially lifted at best, because full disclosure could ruin Israel`s 60th birthday celebrations at best, or it could ruin Israel altogether, at worst. So inane speculations that minor crimes like Talansky covering hotel bills become news, while the full force of the real crime remains buried.
And we are not speaking of the ugly truth that Olmert was the last appointment of Ariel Sharon before he suffered his debilitating cerebral hemorrhage on Jan 3, `05. Or that during the meeting, Sharon signed the papers making Olmert Prime Minister in the event of Sharon`s demise.
No need to ask the really embarrassing questions when the crooked business leading up to Olmert`s current crimes is so obviou |
