"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Jumblat Says Hariri Committing Suicide- Naharnet

Head of the Democratic Gathering parliamentary bloc MP Walid Jumblat is expected to call his bloc for a meeting on Saturday for talks on the latest developments as for the presidential file, as he believes that Hariri is committing suicide shall he nominate MP Michel Aoun for the post, al-Akhbar daily reported on Thursday.
Democratic Gathering MPs quoted Jumblat as saying that he “understands” Speaker Nabih Berri's reservation on the way in which Aoun's name was put forward by al-Mustaqbal Movement chief Saad Hariri.
Jumblat believes that “Hariri has acted improperly with Berri. He let him down,” as he pointed out that “the problem does not lie in Aoun's election but in the process post-elections.”
He asked: “Is the (former) PM (Hariri) aware of the negative aspects of his decision if Aoun was elected and Speaker Berri decides to boycott the government? Will Hariri then form a government composed solely of Hizbullah ministers which is rated by Hariri's allies in the Gulf as terrorist? Is he going to form a government with terrorists?”
