Supreme Court orders Winograd transcripts published - two weeks after interim report
Israel's Supreme Court this evening ordered the Winograd Commission testimony of Prime Minister Ehud K. Olmert, 'defense' ministerIn a 4-1 decision, the Supreme Court told the Olmert-appointed commission that it must publish the testimonies no later than two weeks after the publication of its interim report. Justice Ayala Procaccia was the sole dissenting vote, insisting that the commission release the testimonies before the interim report is made public.If Olmert is forced to resign at the end of April or beginning of May, we could have elections this summer. Of course, under Israeli law, you have to be in the country to vote, so don't look for elections in August.
The Supreme Court had originally ordered the commission on March 22nd to publish the testimonies before Pesach, prior to the release of its interim report, scheduled for the end of this month.
