Minister: Diskin perpetuates grand legacy of moronic Shin Bet chiefs

A senior minister who is close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired back at former Shin Bet Chief Yuval Diskin, who said Friday that the PM and Defense Minister Ehud Barak are unfit to lead the Israeli government.

"(His statements) were entirely inappropriate. He perpetuates a grand legacy of moronic Shin Bet chiefs," the minister said, criticizing Diskin choice of a personal attack. (Attila Somfalvi)
