His specific worry about this was that he confessed his willingness to help Israel at any cost. SeeCourtney Comstock, ‘Shocking Strauss-Kahn Interview: I Could See Myself Becoming The Victim Of A "Honey Trap"’, /Business Insider, /16 May 2011, http://www.businessinsider.com/dominique-strauss-kahn-liberation-interview-woman-raped-parking-lot-set-up-2011-5#ixzz1MbxOeNhS*.*
It refers to a /Liberation /interview on April 28, in which he discussed the following:
/According to Jewish Tribune, he had said years ago that "he gets up every morning wondering how (he can) be useful to Israel." "Stupid," he now says, "but I hadn't refuted it at the time"/
So what was 'stupid'? His openness to the Tribune? His failure to offer a correction in the event it was a misquote? His articulation of these feelings about Israel? These feelings themselves?
