attorney-general veers into libel territory?

I have never received a bribe from anyone. The only money I receive is from the government. My income only comes from the government.

If anyone has the right to feel their reputations have been smeared, it is besieged KPK commissioners, Bibit and Chandra. They have been repeatedly accused of receiving bribes by:

* Attorney-General Hendarman Supandji
* Police chief Hendarso
* disgraced KPK chairman Antasari
* Police chief detective Susno Duadji
* fugitive from justice, Anggoro Widjojo
* (alleged) conspirator and potential assassin Anggodo Widjojo

Yet the Police are yet to lay charges, despite the Police chief telling the press that he has compelling evidence that Bibit and Chandra received bribes.

This means that all these men are treading a very fine line. I would not be surprised if every single one of them has effectively defamed Bibit and Chandra. Given their position, I would have thought that both would be entitled to quite considerable damages.

At some stage can we expect the two of them to file criminal complaints against these men?

Let's just see what happens...
