For those that think something's fishy about this whole thing..he went against the banksters.
No love lost for DSK. I think it was just more powerful banksters taking out another bankster.

IMF chief Strauss-Kahn caught in "Honey Trap"
"Strauss-Kahn said in an address at George Washington University last week. 'Globalization has delivered a lot . . . but it also has a dark side, a large and growing chasm between the rich and the poor. Clearly we need a new form of globalization' to prevent the 'invisible hand' of loosely regulated markets from becoming 'an invisible fist.'"

If your OP was about the possibility of entrapment that would be entirely different, but still no need to publish this young woman's personal information.
Damn .. I need some of whatever you're having.

I have no problem with "accusers" and/or "accused" photos being posted.

WHY should someone who accuses another of a crime be exempt from the same scrutiny that the accused will face?

You have no problem with a rape victim's name and photo being published?

No more than a victim of any other type of serious crime.

So it's my responsibility to prove another persons claim?

Do you all realize that he changed the way the IMF restructures..he bucked the trend and wanted the PIIGS to rebuild from within without selling their assets or letting foreign money come in and buy everything up. Plus the guy who took over the IMF is ex JP Morgan.

So now JP Morgan is running the IMF. How do you like that one ?

And he had a good chance at France.

Color me tin foil..and I want to read a bit more into this, but it smells like a nasty setup, one that will take him down and never let him get back into power again.
Pretty easy, too!

No he said she said.

Just, she said.

Try as I might .. I just can't figure out what the problem here is!?

You don't like the link?
You don't like the way the story is told?
You don't like the photo at the link?
You don't like some of the articles sponsors?
You don't like little letters?
You don't like BIG letters?


Please .. Tell me!
What IS it?
How may I be of further help to you sir?

(Would you like for me to go and do another Google search for you?)

I agree that with the people invloved, something just is not right. The guy may well be a french pig, but we have our share as well. And we've been forced to endure cases where completely bogus charges were created to extort money from the alleged pepetrators.
There are some HUGE problems developing with international banking and the Federal reserve, Treasury and with the big money movers( Chase, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs). This guy might have been targeted and he's certainly being kept on ice which is unusual. I think with all thats involved the womans identity and history should be investigated.
