It is possible to be liberal and in favor of Wikileaks without needing to blind oneself to the shmuckery (that's right I just invented a word) of Assange/DSK et al.

If true, it just goes to show how imperial these people are, if not, then it's good old politics. But either way, squandering $3000 for a room while asking poor countries for more austerity, sounds rather hypocritical. We still do not know the whole story.

The person who stood a good chance at being the next President of France throws it all away for a hotel maid? Even if he is cleared his reputation is ruined as are his career options. What is it about people in very high places that they think they can do anything and get away with it? Seems to me they need someone to ride in their chariot and remind them that they are only human and not a god. Let me get this straight.

Guy comes out of shower unaware maid is cleaning room, she screams, he tries to stop her screaming, things get out of hand, etc... Someone really sane has to look at this story.

Who would want to remove a potentially global socialist figure from likely prominence in an up-coming election? Does the "maid" have any history as a CIA asset? Alan MacDonald Sanford, Maine Liberty & democracy over violent empire -- What’s the betting that Strauss-Kahn got “Assanged”?

Who would want to remove a potentially global socialist figure from likely prominence in an up-coming election?

Does the “maid” have any history as a CIA asset?
