okay, but where’s the link to DSK’s deal with Air France, so I can “look at it” per your recommendation I do so
I didn’t realize that he was at a French hotel. That explains why he wasn’t nabbed at the hotel.
Just because DSK was on “personal business” doesn’t mean he doesn’t have diplomatic immunity through the IMF …
absinthe: True, but he doesn’t:

In the past I have given grief to FSalmon for his continuing attacks on Stein, but the more I read of his work the more I think it’s deserved.
Also, no one seems to be of the opinion that the DSK rape fiasco reeks of a put-up job. Normally I loathe the conspiracy theorist, but this case has some merits as a con… I look forward to reading about actual evidence rather than he said/she said that now destroyed his career.
It is may 16th, 2011, CDN_Rebel. Rather than putting on a tinfoil hat, how about just reading that he couldn’t keep it in his pants and covered up MANY previous sexual harrassment and charges of deviance.
Here is a look backward (note the blogger’s name) at some evidence. There is much more finally coming to light being the females he sexually accosted will now be taken seriously, cover-ups uncovered and and charges laid (hopefully)

Cover ups are how he was able to keep his career. Look forward to reading about that…
@hsvkitty I had heard he was certainly a skirt-chaser, but I had never heard that he was ever violent before… all I really remember was an affair he had that went public and cost him his French cabinet position.
My real argument here is that I think the NYPD acted very VERY quickly to make a public spectacle here. Maybe it turns out this is an open-and-shut case and he deserved it, but until I know that it will still be stinky to me that he’s apprehended almost immediately after the initial complaint. I can’t imagine the authorities could have had such certainty that it must be him…? or knew all this back story.
I saw this whole thing play out on Law & Order SVU… Liv and Elliot will nail him if he did it.
Of all the stupid things Ben Stein’s come out with this is easily the dumbest.
