Strauss-Kahn case near collapse, officials say

If it does collapse the attitude of Europe towards American justice will be interesting:

The new revelations are likely to buttress the view of Strauss-Kahn's supporters, who complained that the American authorities had rushed to judgment in the case.

Some of Strauss-Kahn's allies even contended that he had been set up by his political rivals, an assertion law enforcement authorities said there was no evidence to support.

Strauss-Kahn resigned from his post as managing director of the International Monetary Fund in the wake of the woman's allegation and was required to post $1 million bail and a $5 million bond.

He also agreed to remain under 24-hour home confinement while wearing an ankle monitor and providing a security team and an armed guard at the entrance and exit of the building. The conditions are costing Strauss-Kahn $250,000 a month.

Prosecutors had sought the restrictive conditions in part by arguing that the case against Strauss-Kahn was a strong one, citing a number of factors including the credibility of his accuser, the housekeeper, saying her story was "compelling and unwavering."

It is lovely worth sufficient for me. In my opinion,
if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content as
