The affliction
By Ari Shavit

For the time being, there have only been letters of caution. Prior to the completion of the work of the Zeiler Committee, the 13 people under caution remain in their jobs; until the publication of the final report, they are innocent.

The picture of the Parinyan affair, or of the relevant details in the scandal of the Southern District of the Israel Police is still not complete - but the very fact that two commissioners, major generals, six senior officers and three leading members of the legal system are under caution is an indication of the depth of the affliction that has spread in the Israel Police, the State Prosecutor's Office and the Police Investigations Department (PID) in the Justice Ministry.

It is testimony to the fact that the law enforcement system is not functioning properly. One gets the impression that in Israel 2006, the police have no law, and the law has no police.
