Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's media advisor, Amir Dan, reacted to Maj.-Gen. Yochanan Danino's statements Wednesday by saying: "If the law enforcement elements have nothing to hide, let them go ahead and launch an immediate investigation of the tendentious leaks, instead of releasing baseless statements."
Olmert's confidantes protested leaks from the investigation against him, which included a detailed transcript of the police interrogation of Olmert published in Maariv.
