Israel Recalls 'Naked Ambassador' (Oh he was drunk, with bondage gear too)
<snip>

Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found drunk and naked apart from bondage gear.

Reports say he was able to identify himself to police only after a rubber ball had been removed from his mouth.

A foreign ministry official described Ambassador Tzuriel Refael's behaviour as an unprecedented embarrassment.

The incident, which happened two weeks ago, has renewed calls for a radical overhaul of the way Israel appoints and promotes its diplomats.

San Salvador was Mr Refael's first post as ambassador. He was promoted in 2006 from a technical position in the ministry which had involved several foreign postings.

We're talking about behaviour that is unbecoming of a diplomat

He was being recalled, although he had not broken any laws, foreign ministry spokeswoman Zehavit Ben-Hillel told reporters.

She confirmed that lurid reports of the incident in the Israeli press were accurate.

"We're talking about behaviour that is unbecoming of a diplomat," she said.

Israel has been rocked by a recent series of misconduct and corruption scandals, shaking public confidence in the political leadership.

Haaretz website reports that police found Mr Refael in the Israeli embassy compound where he had been found bound, gagged and naked apart from sado-masochistic sex accessories.

Wasn't he involved with a dominatrix a while back?

3. People: PLEASE print your "safe word" on a card, just in case.
Sometimes the ball-gag is a little tight. Or, so I have heard.

4. "We're talking about behavior that is unbecoming of a diplomat," is she sure
that isn't normal behavior for a diplomat?
