On Monday Ehud Olmert easily survived three no-confidence motions, following the release of the Interim Winograd Report. While there was no doubt the motions would be defeated, it was interesting to see the tension on his haggard face as he watched while the votes were tallied. I missed the shot of him leaning back in his chair and grinning triumphantly up at the photojournalists in the gallery, but managed to catch him and Peretz smiling with a combination of relief and satisfaction immediately afterward.
