	Carmi Gillon's Pathetic Last Stand
		Gillon served as head of the Jewish Department which ran Raviv for five years but he only ran into his most valued informer one time and that was accidentally.
		In late August 1995, Gillon informed a gathering of reporters that Rabin's life was in danger and the potential assassin could be, "a dark skinned Sephardic student of Bar Ilan University who lives in Herzlia." Every point true to the patsy Yigal Amir.
		Gillon's chronology of the assassination night runs like this: At 10:00 PM, Israel time, while he was on the way to the airport, the chief of personal security Benny Lahav phoned him to tell him Rabin was shot.

	Israel: Letter to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (Human Rights Watch, 19-7-2001)
		Gillon's professional history, your nomination of him to serve as ambassador is highly inappropriate, and we urge you to withdraw his appointment without delay.
		Gillon has spoken approvingly of the policies of "moderate physical pressure" that the GSS has routinely applied in its interrogation sessions, referring to techniques such as violent shaking and prolonged position abuse that virtually all other states and international human rights bodies have condemned as amounting to torture or ill-treatment.
		Gillon's record with the GSS warrants a serious impartial inquiry into the use of torture and ill-treatment by the agency during the period in which he served in responsible command and oversight positions, and an investigation into his role in ordering, sanctioning, or taking part in such abuses.

	israelinsider: diplomacy: Something rotten in Denmark
		Carmi Gillon, former GSS head, is at the center of a diplomatic fury as the newly-appointed ambassador to Denmark.
		Gillon's appointment sparked an uproar in Denmark and a crisis in the diplomatic relations between Denmark and Israel.
		The controversy over Gillon's appointment intensified when Gillon defended the use of torture as a means of "self-defense against terrorism." In an interview recently with the Danish media, Gillon warned that Israel may have to re-introduce "moderate physical torture" in the near future when interrogating suspected Palestinian terrorists.

	israelinsider: diplomacy: Subdued protests mar Ambassador Carmi Gillon's arrival in Denmark
		In a recent interview with Danish television, Carmi admitted authorizing the use of "moderate physical pressure" as a means of "self-defense against terrorism," words that were anathema to the Danes.
		Gillon's appointment triggered attempts by human rights activists and left-wing opposition politicians in Denmark to arrest him when he arrived in Copenhagen and bring him to trial for allegedly violating a United Nations convention against torture.
		Gillon supports peace and it's not true that all of Denmark is against him," she said.

		Carmi Gillon first joined the GSS in 1988, and became overall head of the service from March 1995 to February 1996.
		Thus, not only was Carmi Gillon head of the GSS while it used interrogation techniques constituting torture, but he also authorized violent shaking - and continued to authorize this method even after it had directly caused the death of a detainee.
		By accepting Carmi Gillon's appointment to Denmark and the condition that he will be immune from prosecution in Denmark, the Danish authorities appear to be condoning the granting of impunity through appointments to diplomatic posts.

		Predictably, Gillon's remarks triggered an uproar in Denmark, where politicians of every ideological stripe condemned the use of torture, and Gillon's nomination as ambassador.

		In his memoirs, Gillon admitted to giving directives that led to the torture of at least 320 Palestinian suspects who were held in detention by the Shin Bet.

		If Peri is the sober one, and Gillon the cautious and reserved one, and Ami Ayalon the dreamer—then Avraham Shalom, the man who resigned as director of the GSS in wake of the no. 300 bus affair, is the cynical version of the little boy from the tale The Emperor’s New Clothes.
		Yes, says Gillon, and it only deals with the question of how to prevent the next terror attack, not the question how it is at all possible to pull ourselves out of the mess that we are in today.

		Carmi Gillon's appointment as Israel's ambassador to Denmark is turning into an affair with dimensions that go beyond the issue of the appointment itself, and spill over into the nature of relations between sovereign states.
		But opposition to the appointment raised by Danish human rights groups, who charged Gillon was responsible for the torture of prisoners, turned into a media storm that resulted in Gillon becoming a symbol of Israel's negative image in Denmark.
		This is a matter of a senior official of the state, who operated within the framework of his job (even though he was questioned on another matter, his role in the failure to prevent the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin).

		"Gillon's diplomatic immunity does not prevent the government from holding a full investigation, which might provide a firmer legal basis for putting Gillon on trial as soon as he is no longer protected by immunity," says Lars Normann Jorgensen, the local director of Amnesty International.
		If the court decides, as expected, that Gillon's diplomatic immunity rules out any trial, it would be "a step backward, echoing loudly around the world, that would send us back to square one of the campaign, despite all of the very substantial breakthroughs of recent years.
		In the Gillon affair, the human rights organizations lobbied all of Denmark's political parties - inside and outside the coalition - to oppose the acceptance of the Israeli ambassador.

		Gillon not only allowed these "interrogation techniques" to be used under his authority - several hundred Palestinians were subjected to these methods while he was head of GSS - but actually authorized the use of violent shaking even after it had resulted in the death of a detainee in April 1995, the report said.
