Dominique Strauss-Kahn in custody on charges of sexual assault
I have just watched the news coverage of this story on the BBC.
Two things come to mind.
Firstly they are covering the story as if he is guilty, what happened to innocent until proven guilty?
"Jonathan Pinet, a political science student, tweeted the news of Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s arrest before it had even happened, according to Le Post, a French newspaper."

Secondly why on earth is (for the moment) an innocent man in front of photographers and cameras in a middle of a court proceeding, what a violation of human rights? Having the media in the court room making a circus of something as serious as a rape case, that seems very backward to me. I could hardly hear what was being said for the clicking noise the cameras where making.
I don't know if this Kahn is a sex maniac or if he's being 'stiched up', but you have to admit if somone wanted to destory him politicaly and humiliate him......job done!
ps. All the jokes about the IMF not just raping countries have been done so you'll have to be a bit more original!
