Katzav Strikes Back

I listened to the President this evening. The first time he’s really spoken out about what is going on with him.
The problem with listening to him (aside from a few points) was that he simply made sense. Nothing he said about the police, the media, or how either of them works was extraordinary. We all know of stories of similar tactics, methods, and goals by each organization and its members.
Every word he said was quite believable, simply because we’ve heard it before and found it out to be true.
So where does it leave things?
I don’t know. He raised some serious questions about witnesses, histories, and facts in the case that weren’t mentioned before in the news.
Is he telling the truth, or is he lying?
Who knows, but those questions, points, and issues he’s raised certainly now need to be discussed and dealt with publicly and openly.
And I’m not just talking about what he did or didn’t do, but also how the police and media are running this investigation/witch hunt (whichever it turns out to be). We, the public, have certainly lost faith in those organizations for oh so many reasons.
If he is innocent, and as he implied, certain political figures are behind this, then something is more seriously wrong in Denmark than we previously imagined.
And if he’s guilty? Well, then he is one smooth psychopath for sure.
I honestly don't know which way would be worse for the State of Israel.
