"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. "

Deal on Appointment of Roukoz between Mustaqbal, FPM Uncertain- Naharnet

Conflicting reports emerged on Monday whether Mustaqbal Movement leader and ex-Prime Minister Saad Hariri agreed on the appointment of Commando Regiment chief Brig. Gen. Chamel Roukoz, Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun's son-in-law, as army chief.
Sources close to the FPM denied in comments published in As Safir newspaper that Hariri informed Aoun his consent on the appointment of Roukoz as military chief in return for the appointment of head of the Internal Security Force Information Branch Imad Othman as ISF chief.
Al-Akhbar newspaper reported that Hariri is expected to settle this week the fate of such a deal.
According to the daily, the adviser of al-Mustaqbal movement leader, Nader al-Hariri, is expected to meet with FPM Minister Jebran Bassil in the upcoming few days to inform him of the final decision regarding the matter.
