[lbo-talk] BHL defends DSK

[Mark Bennett]

My response has nothing to do with corrupted values; the piece is just a
load of shit.  BHL claims that "no one knows" what happened last Saturday
(two people certainly know); but he then claims to to know what happened
between DSK and Banon in 2002, whom he says "pretends" to have been the
victim of an assault and shut up about it for 8 years (she went public with
the allegation in 2007 and her mother confirms her story).  He says the U.S.
justice system is "accusatory" and the burden of proof is on the defendant.
And so on.
