I could get rich &#8212; from my reading &#8230; so far&#8230; of the Al Dura Verdict in which Phillippe Karsenty has been ordered to pay 3000 Euros to Charles Enderlin and a symbolic 5 Euros to France 2 for &#8220;insulting&#8221; them. These days I get insulted about once an hour. Just think about the possibilities, even deducting legal fees. But seereeusly folks &#8211; there&#8217;s something very spooky about this Al Dura business. As we all know Karsenty was merely expressing a view of the Al Dura video &#8211; that it was unabashed fauxtography &#8211; that he been expressed by many. In this post-Reuters era, most honest people would find such a video at least suspicious. [But we&#8217;re not talking about honest people.-ed. We&#8217;re talking about the&#8230; Don&#8217;t say it!] Okay, I&#8217;m not moving. This sure does make you think about French statist corruption, doesn&#8217;t it? If you have been following Nidra Poller&#8217;s coverage on Pajamas Media, you would have thought this trial was headed for a victoire for la justice. Mais non. Something happened between trial and verdict. Did &#8220;people&#8221; talk with the judge? Was a &#8220;consensus&#8221; reached that would not offend France 2? Will we ever know? Unlikely.]]>Thu, 19 Oct 2006 07:20:59 -0400<![CDATA[Roger L. Simon]]>https://pjmedia.com/roger-l-simon/2006/10/19/im-moving-to-france-n213155
