Why would the American legal system be out to get Strauss-Kahn.
The real question should be: who had something to gain from setting DSK up?
Apart from half the French Government (DSK was standing for President or some damn thing) and the whole Federal Reserve (DSK was pro-removing the artificial reserve status of the dollar), I can't think of anyone.
None of us has forgotten Tawana Brawley, nor the Duke Lacrosse case. Some women seriously do cry rape where no rape has occurred, either for money or to get out of trouble.
I don't believe DSK is a moral man, and he's certainly capable of rape - but we need evidence of rape, not evidence of sex: we can't safely convict him without it.
I don’t know, but see my post 51.
