Winograd to Blame Omert for Deaths of 33 Troops
In the final report which the Winograd Committee is set to publish by the end of the year, Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will be blamed for the final 60 hours of the Second War against Lebanon, during which 33 Israeli soldiers died, the Sunday Times reported on Sunday.
Quoting a source familiar with the details of the Winograd proceedings, the report says that the prime minister was responsible for the decision to continue with the fighting, despite the fact that the United Nations had already started to work on a draft for a cease-fire.
"Olmert knew about the cease-fire agreement, but nevertheless instructed the army to conduct an impossible mission in order to end the failed war on a positive note," the source told the paper. The source went on to predict that the Winograd Committee's final conclusions will create a political storm once published.
Two weeks ago, the committee declared explicitly for the first time that its final report would not include recommendations, conclusions or facts that could cause injury to any specific individuals involved in the subject of its examination.

"Following in-depth investigations and discussions among the members of the Winograd Committee, its members reached the conclusion that given the broad subject we were asked to investigate, and given the facts that we learned, the most worthy way for the committee to act is not to include personal matters (including facts, conclusions or recommendations regarding individuals) in the final report," the panel said.
