Rape charge recommended for Israeli president


Quote: JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Police in Israel are recommending that the country's president be charged with rape and other crimes against several women, a police announcement said.

Police issued a statement Sunday announcing that they have asked Attorney General Menahem Mazuz to charge Israeli President Moshe Katsav with rape, indecent assault and sexual harassment of an undisclosed number of women.

Investigators also have evidence that Katsav illegally pardoned people convicted of crimes and conducted illegal wire-taps, the statement said.

The investigation of Katsav continues into other charges that he harassed a witness and obstructed justice, the statement said.

Mazuz will make the final decision on whether to put the president on trial.


I'm left speechless right now so my only opinion would be, Isn't Democracy a Great Thing ?

Yeah but, it steps up a notch when the authorities agree charges can be filed.
We know how charges and accusations can be thrown around (Sen. Harry Reid) but charges raise it to a whole new level.

We will never know how low democracy can go until each man represents himself. I say this because I prefer personal corruption to public corruption, and because I feel that where leaders are corrupt the people are driven to a virtue that is beyond their means, and ability. I mean. Isn't a bit of a chore to have to live in a constant state of outrage with no hope of fixing the situation, if you get my drift?

You know, if he was Catholic he could be forgiven.

Thats why I like you timmy I have long ago come to the conclusion you have no sense of humor and that is why you have a total lack of judgement or ability to reason.

Everything to you is a personal insult and you feel the need to rant to make it appear as your the victim.

Honestly your just a frustrated martyr who cant find a cause worthy enough to die for.

Do you mean that democracy is a poor system of government because it is possible for people to abuse their power?

If so, what do you recommend as a system of government where such abuses are impossible?

The guy has been exposed, his corruption pointed out, and now he will pay the price. The system works IMO.

Democracy is a system where only the people are allowed to abuse their power. Republics are forms of government based upon abuse of people and power. I will settle for a straightforward democracy. Only with sufficient power can the people be virtuous. The vice of rulers derives from their excessive power, which usually raises their price above the value of their virtue.

And said people are not above the law, they can be tried and brought to justice, just like some common civilian. Hard to say the same for most other forms of government
