Israel recalls 'naked ambassador'

Israel's leadership has been shaken by a string of scandals
Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found drunk and naked apart from bondage gear.
Reports say he was able to identify himself to police only after a rubber ball had been removed from his mouth.

A foreign ministry official described Ambassador Tzuriel Refael's behaviour as an unprecedented embarrassment.

The incident, which happened two weeks ago, has renewed calls for a radical overhaul of the way Israel appoints and promotes its diplomats.

San Salvador was Mr Refael's first post as ambassador. He was promoted in 2006 from a technical position in the ministry which had involved several foreign postings.

[I feel sorry for this guy. Someone played a trick on him and then abandoned him. It could have been some anti-Israeli local girl or just simple bad luck for the fellow, but you shouldn't play sex games with people you don't know if you are going to do that.]

Uh, whatever the guy was doing wasn't kosher. He refuses to make a police report and the Israelis won't say how he got in that position to begin with. This wasn't a simple home invasion prankster.

My guess is that is must be gay sex, a paid dominatrix, or sex with a minor. If it were just straight prostitute sex, I don't think people would be so outraged, and would probably still see him as a victim. Instead, he's being touted as an embarrassment.

And you thought the Canadian ambassador throws great parties.

Not like this guy, I bet!

What's the big deal? We had a local VP of a Middle School busted for dealing crank. When they arrested him he was sitting in his office butt naked, watching gay porn and cranked to the gills.
