The Polanski Affair Overseas

I'm a little surprised by the near uniformity of opposition in France and Poland to the extradition of Polanski. The media there is emphasizing the dubious conduct of the original judge who was going to throw out Polanski's original plea agreement. I can understand why his friends and family would be opposed, but the feeling seems to be widespread. This will be an interesting story to watch as the call could go all the way up to Hillary Clinton and possibly Barack Obama.
