But this happened in the US. Will make sense if he had been arrested in France.

Sarkozy is the most pro-US French president ever. So I won't be surprised if this was a conspiracy to get Strauss-Kahn.

Yeah, it is weird that he fled. And that he left his cell phone behind.

Sure it will have a political fall out and he may be even out politically. time will tell.

But, it if this had happened in france, one can suspect a conspiracy.

Imagine such an swift action against a bigwig happening in India - an Indian, Arab, or a foreigner. The difference between a developed and a backward nation.
