Talkback
Title:Will Olmert wriggle out of this one?
Name:Mike
City: State: Israel
Maybe he will get away with it again.

The problem is that Israeli politics does not seem to have the power to throw out the rotten apples growing in its midst. They stay to fester and infect others.

If Olmert had been a basically decent man, this kind of story would never have arisen in the first place. How can anyone (Olmert, Netaniyahu) who indulges in the `Rich Life` understand the poor guy who has to scrape by? Something is defective in their personalities.
