I still fail to see how it is possible to defend the man. Since most of us seem to be on the side of "throw the old bastard in jail" it is kind of nice to have someone of the other side in here, but disappointingly your arguments for his defense fall rather flat. We are all scum in some way or another just doesn't cut it for me. I may well be scum, but my scumminess doesn't even compare to the level of scumminess it takes to drug and force yourself on a child.

Anyway Bingo, you seem to be hinting at some mass American gov. conspiracy going on. Why not just come out and explain your theory, instead of all the little clips and bits. You seemed to hint at the US gov. either taking Polanski because of the bad economy, or because of the new President. I am trying really hard to figure out how exactly that makes sense. A little help?

To me, the only thing messed up about the case is that he wasn't grabbed sooner.
