Former Israeli President to Be Charged With Rape

Israel's Justice Ministry says former President Moshe Katsav is to be charged with raping a woman who once worked for him.

Put the man in jail. He took advantage of his position in politics. He shouldn't get away with this!

I'm totally buried in e-mail notifications, so I am using a generic comment to catch up. I hope you don't mind. I hope to be able to get caught up and start fresh in a day or two, but in the meantime, here's to you!
