Default French See Case Against Strauss-Kahn as American Folly
Wow..I wonder who cut the deal here ...complete setup ... lot's of $$$$$$$$$$....

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/04/wo...pagewanted=all

Now, with the case appearing to collapse over questions about the credibility of the hotel housekeeper from Guinea who accused him, and Mr. Strauss-Kahn freed from house arrest, the French are feeling a kind of bitter jubilation of their own, and renewing their criticisms about the rush to judgment, the public relations concerns of elected prosecutors and the somehow uncivilized, brutal and carnival nature of American society, democracy and justice.

Former Prime Minister Lionel Jospin said Friday that “he was thrown to the wolves” in the American system; a former justice minister, Robert Badinter, called Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s treatment “a lynching, a murder by media.”

Dominique Moïsi, a longtime analyst of French-American relations who has studied and taught in the United States. “The case does damage to the image of America and recreates negative stereotypes that existed before.”

Damages what image? Someone lodged a criminal complaint that seemed to have probability (there was ample evidence that he at least did sleep with her). The authorities detained the suspect before he left the country. Charges were investigated. Prosecutors found credibility issues with the person lodging the complaint. They let him go. Hell, it wasn't even like he was detained in a jail cell.

It seems the complaints from French officials is over the press, but of course most countries have always expressed confusion over the amount of freedom the press get in America.


Edit: It's also coming from the country that gave shelter to Ira Einhorn.
