Saade, when Menargues appears ... 2 of 3

In any case, during November 2006, Johnny Saade and Ménargues modified the contract to agree on content updates and add about 40 pages to the book. However, according to sources close to the deal, it seems that Johnny and the 60 year old journalist have recently reached strong disagreements. Menargues, who during the 1982 Lebanon war was serving as a correspondent in Beirut, decided not to go further with the book. As a result, it seems Johnny Saade himself will rewrite part of the book already prepared by Menargues. Johnny Saade intends to publish the book by his own. An article published on September 21 by the Bakchich magazine on the internet reported in this regard that Johnny Saade was seen recently in Paris, visiting a French Editor "les éditions du Cherche Midi". This disagreement between Saade and Menargues was recently confirmed by some blogs, which were attacking the French author. Sources who are familiar with the issue claim Johnny Saade is likely behind these attacks as in the past he used anonymous blogs to launch some verbal attacks on his business foes. In some blogs, Alain Menargues was described as "a liar". It was also written that he "signs contracts and wants big bucks to write a book, then disappears without sticking to its promises".
