Olmert's omerta

Haaretz has this cool video/article about the tribulations of PM Olmert. Never an 'agora' (penny) did he take for himself. Talk to my attorney he says, but, whoops, the attorney may be talking too much.

The timing, with the 60th anniversary fest, the possible 'peace' with Syria, the possible 'war' with Iran, the strangulation of Gaza, makes for conspiratorial thinking, a vice we try hard to avoid. But it sounds like PM Olmert is going down, and in Israel, as in the good ol' USA, that means keeping one's lip zipped or having it zipped for you, perhaps inside a body bag. To your health, Mr. Olmert!
