WikiLeaks: Jumblat Said Mirza is Weak, Doesn’t Deserve his Position
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat described in a leaked U.S. Embassy cable General Prosecutor Saeed Mirza as weak, adding that he doesn’t deserve his position.
The WikiLeaks cable dated March 22, 2008, spoke of the MP’s fear of a Hizbullah and Syria-led campaign to release the four generals who were imprisoned for allegedly being involved in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
“The release of all or any one of the generals will harm the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s credibility,” he added.
“The Lebanese judges don’t have the courage to wage a confrontation,” he stressed.
Jumblat also voiced his concern that the STL is not working at a fast enough pace.
