Accidentally on Purpose

According to La Prensa, on the orders of the Attorney General, José Antonio Sossa, the judicial police (PTJ) this morning took Roberto Eisenmann, the founder of that newspaper, to the Assistant Prosecutor’s Office to be questioned for having expressed in an article the opinion that the Attorney General, instead of pursuing criminals, pursues journalists.

After reading the aforementioned article and another one titled “Sossa, de cuerpo entero” (Sossa, a Full-Length Portrait), published in La Prensa on February 10, 2004, one wonders: by calling Eisenmann to testify over his comment, at a time when no one is in jail for the scandalous CEMIS case, might Sossa not be, accidentally on purpose, reinforcing the very idea he wished to refute?
