The sudden discovery that a famous actor is a serial killer and culminates in a breathtaking arrest at such an event is what it is.
In this case it was completely unnecessary, as the man had been living under their noses for two months before the festival. Deliberately messing with the event and flaunting a big show of power when there were other, far less dramatic avenues open to the government, says a lot. And nothing good. That's why i don't really blame the people like Debra Winger who are shocked and appalled by this Swiss/American political play.

If he was "Father Polanski", we would ALL want him locked up with a 300lb cell-mate! |

I disagree. Arresting people at such international cultural events is not a good thing at all. |

If this has caused them hand-wringing, they might want to engage in some self-reflection. |

Maybe Polanski should have thought of that in the first place, because every time I hear his name -- |

It was not a national priority, it was a state level action and a cold case |
