Once a Super One hatchet-man, always a Super One hatchet-man
Ooops, sorry. This is the other Labour leader who somehow got into parliament without anyone having voted for him to be there. My mistake.
timesofmalta.com reported Friday:
The two main political parties yesterday engaged in a war of words about the 2008 pre-election Mistra saga that had seen Nationalist MP Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando vehemently defending himself against corruption allegations by former Labour leader Alfred Sant.
Speaking on a TV programme on Wednesday evening, Nationalist MPs Francis Zammit Dimech and Beppe Fenech Adami revived the Nationalist Party’s claim that it was then Labour MEP Joseph Muscat who alerted the PN to the impending attack.
Former PN general secretary Joe Saliba had said as much in a 2008 interview with The Sunday Times shortly after Dr Muscat was elected Labour leader.
“On a TV programme, Muscat said that Labour would be releasing information to implicate one of the candidates in corruption. A couple of days after the programme, in a private conversation, Muscat inadvertently continued giving hints to show that he was aware of Labour’s strategy and we managed to identify the candidate they would be picking on,” Mr Saliba had said.
It’s true: I clearly remember hearing at the time how the Nationalist Party was alerted to what Sant planned to do when Joseph Muscat (his sidekick back then) blabbed at a party.
Whether he did so intentionally or because he doesn’t care that careless talk costs lives is not for me to know.

“Whether he did so intentionally or because he doesn’t care that careless talk costs lives is not for me to know.”
In either case, it shows a weakness in his character.
This whole saga proves that l’ innominato was definitely not honest (please note that I am not calling him a liar).
So can anyone any more hold him to be trustworthy?
Now, because he has been publicly exposed, he plays for the moral high ground.
The absurdity of it all is that he is taking it out on those who helped him (when they did not know as yet what a twisted mind there was behind all this), and in reality he is playing in the hands of who really did him most harm.
You have to be either totally short of grey matter or else so blinded with hatred and envy thet you prefer harakiri than admit that you are acting irresponsibly.
Fido, will you bet me that JPOS will have his Mistra permit if Labour comes to power?
This is the source of the cold war between Jason Micallef and Joseph Muscat. Joseph Muscat spoiled Jason Micallef’s party in 2008. He’ll never forgive him for that.
He just wanted to show that he was “minn ta’ gewwa” (part of the inner circle). To prove it he blabbed about the impending “bomba” his boss had.
