State Won’t Disclose Letter on War Probe, by Dan Izenberg (Jerusalem Post)
Full Text;
The state on Sunday rejected a request to release the contents of a letter written by Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in which Mazuz allegedly told Olmert he should appoint a state commission of inquiry to investigate the government’s handling of the war against Lebanon last summer.
The request was filed last week by the Movement for Quality Government, one of two watchdog organizations demanding that the government-appointed Winograd Committee of Examination into the government’s handling of the second Lebanese war be dismissed and replaced by a state commission of inquiry, whose members are appointed by the president of the Supreme Court.
