well I guess nobody gives a damn but in case you youngsters are interested here are the facts

"SEPTEMBER 28--As Roman Polanski sits in a Zurich prison readying to fight extradition to the United States, it seems like a good time to publish the official court transcript of the film director's guilty plea to having sex with an underage California girl. On August 8, 1977 Polanski appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court and copped to a felony count of unlawful sexual intercourse. As seen in the below transcript, he acknowledged being aware that the victim was 13 at the time of their March 1977 encounter in a Mulholland Drive home owned by actor Jack Nicholson. Polanski, now 77, fled the country before being sentenced, fearful that he would be imprisoned by Judge Laurence Rittenband, the jurist before whom he entered his guilty plea. At the time of Polanski's plea, a lawyer for the family of the victim wrote Rittenband and urged him to accept the deal, thereby sparing the child from testifying before a media horde and having her identity publicly disclosed. "Whatever harm has come to her as a victim would be exacerbated in the extreme if this case went to trial," wrote attorney Lawrence Silver. "This is not the place for a recovering young girl." Click here to read the girl's harrowing grand jury testimony about the sex crime. A copy of Polanski's probation report, prepared in advance of his yet-to-occur sentencing, can be found here.

M. Polanski, looking back on his heartbreaking departure from his adopted country, where his butchered wife and baby lie buried, told a British author in 1979:

The Nazis went because we bombed until the Nazis couldn't stop us going in and grabbing all the Nazis

we refuse to bomb until we can grab the Taliban

it is we who have changed, not "the times"

moral of the story: anybody willing to fight 8 years can bomb New York City and get away with it.

I note the passive voice regarding ethnic cleansing in Georgia. "Ethnic cleansing" seems to have occurred. By whom?  It is not said.  Perhaps it rains ethnic cleansing.

The report is just eyewash to give cover to whatever policy the EU wants to have.  Georgia started a war with Russia by attacking within its own borders!  I suppose Spain better watch its ass, it launches so many attacks of that sort.  Then Russia "went too far" by attacking Georgia-- past tense, as if Russia did not still have troops beyond Ossetia NOW-- and giving "independence" to provinces--and Russian passports to their citizens, as their parliament petitions Moscow for formal absorption into Russia.

CHICAGO (CBS) ―  Click to enlarge1 of 1
Anti-Olympic protesters in Daley Plaza.
CBS

Six people were charged Wednesday with mob action for allegedly damaging property at an anti-Olympic protest in the Loop Tuesday evening.

A group of protesters tried to snatch an Olympic decoration that was supposed to go on the Picasso statue in Daley Plaza.

Police said Jason Hammond listed his occupation on a police report as a self employed rock star.

All six will appear for a bond hearing Thursday, Simonton said.

CBS 2's Anne State reports that the whole thing started as workers were decorating Daley Plaza for the Olympics.

An oversized Olympic medal was being taken out of packaging as a group of protesters nearby was beating drums chanting, "No Games."

Some of the protesters tried to grab the Olympic prop. They weren't able to do so; they just pulled off the brown wrapping around it.

One protester hopped over the fence and burned the wrapping in the eternal flame.

An officer was then seen grabbing one of the demonstrators as the rest of them began running across Daley Plaza. That officer called for back-up and got it in a hurry. Several police cars showed up.

"The great thing about this country is that we have a right to freedom of speech. At the same time, there is a line that you cannot cross. And unfortunately that line was crossed tonight," said Chicago Police Lt. Charles Flynn.

Two witnesses claim police acted brutally.

Olympic opponent and witness Magda Ramirez said, "The police also did damage to them. Grabbed the young people, threw them on the ground and had them arrested."

Not all of the protesters at Daley Plaza Tuesday contributed to the violence. Others may be taken into custody as the investigation continues.

Members of No Games Chicago, the group that organized the rally, headed to Copenhagen Tuesday to tell the International Olympic Committee that Chicago is in such financial straits it cannot afford the games and is such a hotbed of political corruption it doesn't deserve them.

"We are bringing materials to back up our claim that Chicago is not fit to host the games," said Tom Tresser, an organizer for the group.

CBS 2's Anne State, the Associated Press and the STNG Wire contributed to this report.
