For all their sins, There's more to France's story than that.
Seems to me the thing to do is let someone independently do this, without USOC sanction (wink, wink). Just let someone show up, hand the flag to oone of the athletes, let them carry it in, and slip the word to the media. Romney can say he knew nothing about it, and what are they going to do? Come arrest him? Bomb the American quarters at the village?
I say do it under their radar, and if they whine, sarcastically apologize.
Ok. Ok. I'm sorry. "...the French surrender many hours after first hostilities......."
