Summing Up

Fascinating to suddenly find Olmert reborn now that his days are numbered. Wonderful really. Uri Avnery, crusty old peacenik that he is, has his own cynical take on it of course:

I read the sensational interview that Ehud Olmert gave this week, on the eve of the Jewish New Year, to the newspaper "Yediot Aharonot".

AT THE end of his political career, after resigning from the prime ministership, while waiting for Tzipi Livni to set up a new government, he said some astounding things - not astounding in themselves, but certainly when they come from his mouth.
