It's no secret that the former epic fail of a prime minister has been eyeing the big seat for a while now. Question is, is it advantageous to help create a crisis just so he can step in to save the day?

That's a very good possibility also. I would think that Sarkozy and Brown think alike so maybe it was a joint effort?

I don't think Brown is that devious or unprincipled.

Also, why would a fleeing guy call a hotel back and give away his location?

DSK is too smart and too intelligent for that. He had a weakness and it looks like it was sexploited
