ke vidimo, ide pred sudiju oko 17h po nasem vremenu

Ja se bas ne bih sprdao sa tim jer mi ce cini kao excuse. Ovo mi se cini ozbiljnim.Nije rec o skandalu starom XY godina koji se vadi iz naftalina u nekom tabloidu.Rc je o imigrantkinji iz Afrike i o tome da je pobegao glavom bez obzira.Kapa dole americkom pravosudju i policiji na brzoj reakciji. Gotovo sam siguran da se tako nesto dogodilo u Fransuckoj ili Italiji, "staroj Evropi", da bi se slucaj zataskao.

Koliko god treba reci svaka cast americkom provosudju ako se ispostavi da je sve ovo tacno, toliko treba imati na umu da je upravo americko pravosudje cesto brzopleto kada su u pitanju ovakvi slucajevi. Amerika je mozda jedna od drzava gde se takve optuzbe i najvise zloupotrebljavaju. Uzimajuci u obzir francuske politicke spletke (nedavno je bilo ono o koriscenju policije ili tajne sluzbe da se blati protivnik, ne secam se vise ko su bili akteri) ne bi donosio zakljucke pre nego sto vidimo rasplet cele price.

IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn is sent to New York's notorious Rikers Island jail on sexual assault charges, after being denied bail.

wow, progresivniji smo od braće namu moskvi ipak zabranjen prajd

U Francuskoj vecina veruje da je proces protiv DSK politicka zavera.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13443085

An opinion poll suggests 57% in France believe the charges are part of a plot against him. That number rose to 70% among those who identified themselves as favouring Mr Strauss-Kahn's centre-left Socialist Party.

NYPD se ne slaze sa tom procenom:

The maid's lawyer, Jeffrey Shapiro, said his client "had no idea who this man [Mr Strauss-Kahn] was when she went into the room" and only learned his identity the following day."The idea that someone would suggest she was involved in some form of conspiracy is ridiculous," he said. "This is someone who has been the victim of a violent act.""It's not just my opinion that this woman is honest," Jeffrey Shapiro said. "The New York City Police Department (NYPD) reached the same conclusion. This is a woman with no agenda."He said his client came originally from the West African state of Guinea. She arrived in the US seven years ago, along with her daughter, now 15, and had been in her job for three years."There is no way in which there is any aspect of this event which could be construed consensual in any manner," Mr Shapiro said.However, Mr Strauss-Kahn's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, has said defence lawyers believe the forensic evidence "will not be consistent with a forcible encounter".

Btw zar ovaj Shapiro nije neka velika faca? Poznato mi je to prezime.S druge strane, krpa od coveka zvana BHL brani DSK-a. Znaci, kriv je.

The philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy, a friend of Mr Strauss-Kahn for 25 years, has spoken out in his defence."Nothing in the world can authorise the way this man has been thrown to the dogs," he wrote on his blog."I do not know... how a chambermaid could enter on her own the room of one of the most watched people on the planet, against the normal practice in most big New York hotels, which provide for 'cleaning brigades' of at least two people."

Да, он је измислио шапирограф.

S druge strane, krpa od coveka zvana BHL brani DSK-a. Znaci, kriv je.

Да видимо, Шапиро, Леви, Брафман... бокте, све сами Инуити.

U Francuskoj vecina veruje da je proces protiv DSK politicka zavera.

Sramotna francuska politicka kultura. Dno.S tim u vezi dobar clanak u Ekonomistu, slicno onome sto sam odmah nakon hapsenja napisao.

Decoding DSKWhat his fall says about transatlantic differences in attitudes to sex, power and the law “I DID warn him!” These were the words supposedly uttered by France’s president, Nicolas Sarkozy, when he heard that Dominique Strauss-Kahn had been arrested in New York on charges of attempting to rape a hotel maid. When “DSK” moved to Washington, DC, in 2007 to take up his duties as the boss of the IMF, Mr Sarkozy is said to have told him to check his passions: he was going to a country that had come close to hounding Bill Clinton out of office for having an affair with a White House intern.In matters of sex, as of war, Europeans are from Venus. They mock Americans’ puritanism about the sex lives of public figures. For a politician to cheat on his wife in America is a sign of dishonesty. Witness the opprobrium heaped on Arnold Schwarzenegger over the new revelation that he had fathered a child out of wedlock. In much of Europe, affairs can be a badge of virility. That is the insinuation of an interview given by none other than Mr Strauss-Kahn’s wife, Anne Sinclair. Asked in 2006 whether she minded her husband’s reputation, she replied: “No, I’m rather proud of it! It’s important for a politician to seduce. As long as he seduces me and I seduce him, that’s enough for me.”Nowhere is the politician’s entitlement to sex more tolerated than, perhaps, in Italy. For Silvio Berlusconi, the country’s longest-serving prime minister in modern times, sexual appetite is a matter of pride, not of shame. He is on trial, charged with paying for sex with an underage prostitute. (He also faces a range of corruption charges.) But there are no handcuffs for Il Cavaliere. “I love life and I love women,” he declares cheerily.Related topicsAmericans (and, it is true, many Europeans) are mystified by Mr Berlusconi’s ability to survive the tales of his lurid “bunga-bunga” parties. Europeans are bemused by the uptightness of American public life, in which a blow job in the White House can lead to the impeachment of a president. But the case of Mr Strauss-Kahn is about more than sex. Dig deeper and you uncover a number of telling differences in transatlantic attitudes.One question is: how much privacy should public figures enjoy? American intrusiveness may seem distasteful to Europeans. For their part, Americans do not understand how prominent personalities in Britain can obtain “super-injunctions” preventing journalists from reporting some peccadillo or even the existence of the injunction.European tolerance of cavorting politicians carries the risk of creating a culture of silence and immunity that too easily blurs the lines between a consensual affair, harassment and outright assault. Henry Kissinger may have thought that power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. But power can also be a means of extorting sexual and other favours. If state and media conspire to keep quiet about the debauchery of politicians, might it not be easier to hide other misdeeds, such as corruption?When Mr Strauss-Kahn was up for the IMF job, Jean Quatremer, a correspondent for Libération, a French newspaper, was one of the few voices expressing concern about his libertine ways. His attitude towards women, blogged Mr Quatremer, was “too insistent, often brushing close to harassment. A trait known to the media, but about which nobody speaks (we are in France).” Mr Quatremer warned that the IMF was infused with “Anglo-Saxon mores” and that France could not afford a scandal.With hindsight it looked complacently eager to avoid one. In 2007 Tristane Banon, a young writer, gave a televised account of what she claimed was an attack on her by Mr Strauss-Kahn when she interviewed him for a book in 2002. The programme attracted no attention when first screened, in part because it appeared on an obscure cable channel. But it now makes for compelling viewing. DSK’s name was bleeped out as Ms Banon described him to a table of dining companions as “a rutting chimpanzee” and recounted fighting him off on the floor. Later, she said, DSK would send her creepy texts asking: “Do I frighten you?” She thought about pressing charges but did not want to be known “until the end of my days as the girl who had had a problem with a politician”. Ms Banon’s account would not make her the first female journalist to be harassed by a powerful man. But what is intriguing about this tale is that Mr Strauss-Kahn’s name did not leak, as it surely would have done in America or Britain.Walk of shamePerhaps inevitably, given the fame of Mr Strauss-Kahn and the anonymity of the chambermaid, more attention has been paid to the tribulations of the former IMF chief than to the plight of his alleged victim. Indeed, the images of Mr Strauss-Kahn in handcuffs during his “perp walk” are regarded by many in France as an assault on the defendant’s dignity, part of a flawed system of justice that places too much emphasis on retribution at the expense of the rights of the accused.In France parading suspects in public is banned. In Britain, once a defendant is charged, until a trial is concluded only court proceedings may be reported. The aim is to avoid prejudicing jurors. Justice in these countries tends to be a sober affair, insulated as far as possible from external tumult. In America it is more theatrical, with lawyers fighting their case over the airwaves and cameras filming battles in the courtroom. To Americans this is all evidence of great openness.Beyond such differences in legal cultures, one fact is inescapable. In America a modest African immigrant has obtained a swift response from the police to her complaint of sexual assault. Mr Strauss-Kahn’s innocence or guilt will be determined in court. But New York’s authorities have not shirked from arresting the head of one of the world’s leading international bodies, nor from demanding that he be kept in jail on remand. It is worth asking: would this have happened in Paris or Rome?

Georgian revolution has begun - Burjanadze

The Georgian revolution has begun, the leader of the opposition Democratic Movement Party, Nino Burjanadze, has said.Burjanadze, who is a former Georgian parliament chairperson, has told reporters that the revolution has been staged by the authorities, and the opposition is not going to betray the movement.“The authorities cannot cling to any of my words because the movement is a peaceful struggle,” she said, adding that the authorities do not resort to any method that could constitute a criminal offence. Burjanadze’s party had earlier held a protest demonstration calling for a change of regime. The demonstration began on Saturday on the main square of capital Tbilisi. The protesters headed towards the Georgian Public Broadcaster (GBP), demanding airtime. According Georgian news agency GHN, they spent the whole night outside the GBP building. Earlier in the morning, special detachment forces used tear gas and rubber bullets to quell the crowd. After a short while however, the protesters again gathered outside the GBP. Clashes later erupted between protesters and plain clothed men. The opposition leaders claim those people represented force structures. New special detechment troops appeared on the site after the incident to take a stricter control over the GBP building. The protesters are not reportedly going to break up, as they are waiting for supporters from regions to join them.
