I agree with the praise on the opinion piece in The Malta Independent.

I would like to add another observation which had been made here by Daphne before.

The compromising situations in which politicians get themselves may give rise to ‘brown envelopes’ full of dangerous content, of which, the Dom Mintoff/Lorry Sant case is a prime example. Had it been only Dom Mintoff who was being held at ransom by Lorry Sant and his brown envelope full of spicy pictures, it would not have been a problem. But as it happened, all the country was being held at gunpoint in that case.
