Morris Talansky of Woodmere is the man in the middle of Olmert bribery allegations

Funny how it works, Israel has a gag order, so it's published in the New York Post: ISRAEL SCANDAL. (via Ben Chorin) I find it hard to believe that Olmert's secretary would record dealings with Morris Talansky as "The Laundry Man".

P.S. NY Post writes: "The 75-year-old was earlier questioned about the alleged scheme almost immediately after arriving in the country for Passover". I wonder or speculate if this is an intentional confession from Talansky, particularly considering the fact that Olmert has morphed from a defender of Jerusalem into a potential divider. In fact his strong support in NY in the nineties was based on this single fact that Olmert was a hawk who even lambasted Ehud Barak for suggesting the division of Jerusalem. Perhaps we will soon find out.
