French Minister Doubts U.S. Fairness to Roman Polanski - ABC News: "France's Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand questioned on Thursday whether film director Roman Polanski would get a fair hearing from the U.S. justice system, which is seeking his extradition on a 32-year-old sex case.
The 'Chinatown' director, 76, was arrested in Switzerland on Sunday at the request of the United States for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977. He had fled the United States on the eve of his sentencing in 1978, fearing a 50-year jail term.
'There are concerns over the absolutely incredible media lynching to which Roman Polanski was subjected 30 years ago,' Mitterrand told a news conference in Paris..."
On Huckleberry Half-Truth's (Mike Huckabee) radio show this morning, he quoted a survey of French citizens which said the overwhelming majority of French wanted Roman the Child Rapist put away, pointing out that the elites everywhere are out of touch with the thinking of the less powerful.
Update: The French Government has dropped its opposition to the U.S. concerning Polanski.
