The fact that there is/was an investigation makes people think about how corrupt he actually is, despite the fact that he is good at getting out of his problems. <BR/><BR/>That is exactly why he has been insisting everyone apologize publicly to him. So they will look bad in the public eye, as having to apologize and retract..Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-1141296910604979882006-03-02T12:55:00.000+02:002006-03-02T12:55:00.000+02:00This is my first comment here, but most likely won...This is my first comment here, but most likely wont be the last, and here I've got a few to add.<BR/>Firstly, investigations never look good. It doesn't matter how legal and correct everything was, as soon as there is an investigation into a major political decision such as Amona, people begin to question it's validity. Close to an election is bad. I have a feeling if this investigation was going on after the election, the push against it wouldn't be so large.<BR/>Secondly, legal or not, we are talking politics. So how much would the result of the investigation talk about whether it was "legal" or whether it was "acceptable". My gut feeling is that they are concerned about "acceptability" and less about "legality".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
