McGreevey Soap Opera Update

This is another angle to Goveronor McGreevey ongoing soap opera. Who do you believe? At this point, my brain is fatigued with all of this; but, I will wait to see what the federal investigation will reveal.

The only question that I have is why did Golan Cipel really fly back to his native Israel?

In an attempt to silence him, Gov. McGreevey threatened to make Golan Cipel unemployable and therefore subject to deportation, according to the lawyer drafting a possible sexual-harassment suit against the governor.

The governor's lawyer said the allegations are false.

In an interview, New York lawyer Rachel Yosevitz contended that a visa threat against the Israeli national was part of a pattern of intimidation and "power play" that began fully two years ago.

McGreevey's advisers have maintained that the conflict with Cipel surfaced only last month. But Cipel's legal team now says that the two men began feuding immediately after Cipel left the state payroll in August 2002.

Bill's Final Words: I feel that Golan Cipel should have been deported upon his resignation as Counterterrorism Czar in 2002, a position that he was unqualified for. (We, the residents of New Jersey could have had former FBI chief Louis Freeh.) At least the Governor made a wise selection for that post with Sid Casperson.
