Reprieve for French PM in probe

AdelaideNow... Reprieve for French PM in probe:

"Mr Villepin has vehemently denied that as foreign minister in early 2004 he ordered a secret probe into claims that Mr Sarkozy was on a list of names of alleged account-holders at Clearstream."

Well, it's in France too. Doesn't amtter whether you are right or wrong as long as the dirt sticks these days. Who cares whether it's a handshake, the way you look, the person you had a fling with, the oh so secret list as long as you are got. De Villepin is very bright, very intellectual , very knowledgeable and very clever. In this day and age he would be a formidable opponent so it's only right he should be besmirched. At the moment the truth is never clear and politicians are not able to be themselves and it's just a game of dirty pool. The winners are picked not chosen, it would appear.
