C'est l'avis de Peter Beinart sur le site du Daily Beast. Bien au contraire, ce serait un bel exemple d'égalité devant la loi. Cyrus Vance, le procureur, aurait suivi la procédure.
"To be sure, not all associated with the DSK case covered themselves with glory. The New York tabloids acted like the New York tabloids. Kicking people when they’re down is what they do. They were sensationalistic and vulgar toward DSK, and they were sensationalistic and vulgar toward Anthony Weiner. They’ll besmirch anyone’s character, irrespective of nationality, race, religion or creed.
To see this as merely a public relations fiasco for the United States, however, misses the point. Yes, there are French nationalists—particularly French nationalist men—who believe the attack on DSK was an attack on their country’s honor. But there are also many French women who suffered mightily at the hands of men like Strauss-Kahn who feel no sympathy for him whatsoever. Anne Mansouret—whose daughter claims Strauss-Kahn tried to rape her in 2003—told The Times she was “revolted” by the way French men have rallied to DSK’s defense.
The Strauss-Kahn indictment “changed something in the mentality of French women," notes French feminist Natacha Henry. "This case has empowered women, even if this one isn't the Virgin Mary." Since DSK’s arrest, several French women have come forward to accuse a government minister, Georges Tron, of attempted rape, and he has since resigned. “There's an awareness and a willingness to speak out that wasn't there before,” notes Sylvie Kauffmann, the first female editor of Le Monde. Businesswoman Laurence Parisot recently told Le Parisien that the Strauss-Kahn indictment "is going to contribute to liberating speech.”
None of this means that DSK should be convicted if the evidence against him is weak. But simply taking his accuser seriously has changed the sexual-harassment debate in France. It has changed it because police and prosecutors in New York did something that in much of today’s world remains revolutionary: When a poor black woman said she had been abused by a rich white man, they listened. And they set about investigating her claims. I don’t think that’s anything to apologize for at all."
