This will make SU gnash his teeth.

Kudos to Olmert. But too bad he didn't have the courage to say these things when he still had political capital. Of course, the reason is that he would have instantly lost his capital had he said it. A broke man ain't got nothing to fear.

Interesting. Better late than never. I am guessing that at this point he has nothing to lose and is feeling reflective. Makes sense to come clean. In any case, this is encouraging.

It makes you wonder what would happen if there was some serious pressure from the US to force a resolution.

Hmm. Should I take George P. Lee's statements--post-excommunication--that the LDS church is a white supremacist cult at face value?
