<<it appears that DSK may be a repeat sexual offender, so at this point I cannot sympathize with him.>> What ever happened to the concept of "presumed innocent until proven guilty". I am not saying that I believe he is or isn't but that is our bases of the law. The NYPD and the media already judged guilty and are treating him as such. If he is innocent it has been an expensive w/e visit to New York. The damage to his reputation is irreparable, a life time of work and service ruined in one day in NY. On top of a week spent in a jail with common criminals, the hiring of NY attorneys etc. Either way it shows the world what a backward hypocritical and very dangerous place the US has become. Let us face the facts, the NYPD and media writers and most everybody else, is aware that, for the $3,000. a night he spent on the suite he could have had hookers coming and going and any kind of sex he could dream up. Ironically, the same week the Dep of Commerce and US Travel Association are complaining that the US is losing International tourists to other destinations news.yahoo.com "Specifically, a burdensome US visa system drives millions of potential travelers to other countries at an enormous cost to our economy," the report says. The report considers every dollar spent by foreign visitors to the United States to be an export dollar, which makes travel "an easy export industry to expand and a key to closing our trade deficit."

My point is not the issue of DSK being a repeat sexual offender, as same was also former president Clinton and a long list of US Senators. None of them went to jail or arrested for invetigations My point was that this is a clear "vendetta". Now to compare apple to oranges how many years in jail should the management of Lehman Bros receive for stealing 300 to 400 billion from the world savers or GS where the amounts are in the trillions. There should be some balance in administering justices and IMHO the reason behind DSK arrest are NOT his sexual offenses but his effort to bring blue blood WASP of WS who are nothing but scum to justice. Based on NY Police making sexual advances to a hotel maid is punishable by the equivalent of several trillion dollars. IMHO it also smells of a lot of hatred of Jews, who in NYC are automatically connected to the sins of WS. IN this case DSK had nothing to do with the economic crisis and only wonder when the Chiefs of Bank of America or Countrywide mortgages or Merrill and the list goes on will go to jail
