This morning's Ha'aretz has a harsh verdict by Yuval Elbashan on the silence of Israel's military and defense correspondents in the Anat Kam/Uri Blau leak/gag order/classified documents investigation.
I agree. I worked with an earlier generation of Israeli defense correspondents when covering Israeli defense issues back in the 1980s. I fear the late Ze'ev Schiff is uneasy in his grave. This thing undercuts Israel's whole claim to be an open society (always a bit exaggerated), but thankfully the gag order is lifted and the debate is on.
