| The Facts Keep Changing |
By R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. |
WASHINGTON -- The facts keep changing. Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK to the cognoscenti), the managing director of the International Monetary Fund,
is nabbed by New York police Saturday, having just boarded an Air France flight to Paris. Accused of sexually assaulting a maid at the Sofitel Hotel
back in Manhattan hours earlier, he is hustled off the plane. DSK, also the leading candidate against France's President Nicolas Sarkozy, is taken
into custody, identified by his alleged victim in a police lineup, and lingers in a Manhattan holding cell. He undergoes some sort of tests wherein
DNA samples are taken from his fingernails and skin -- he volunteers for this.
In a matter of hours he is a fallen man. He got up Saturday morning the head of the respected International Monetary Fund. He goes to sleep that
night convicted in the eyes of the vast majority of the public as sex offender.
