Al Dura Trial: Is Enderlin the French Dan Rather? An Enderlin-gate?
Les choses vont aller vite désormais. L'audience d'aujourd'hui a été très longue et les comptes-rendus nous arrivent lentement et au compte-gouttes. Ci après le premier en ma possession. Je suis en train de le traduire. Mais je recommande à ceux qui comprennent l'anglais d'écouter l'analyse à chaud de Richard Landes, toujours précis, calme et mesuré, mais redoutable observateur. A l'en croire, Enderlin a été très déstabilisé par la présentation en PowerPoint faite devant le tribunal par Ph. Karsenty. Toujours selon Landes, la juge a paru troublée. Les réponses d'Enderlin ont été embarrassées et "à côté de la plaque". Landes les taxe de "baratin" et ajoute, il ne répond pas aux remises en cause, si ce n'est en réaffirmant qu'il n'est pas un falsificateur comme on l'en accuse. Arlette Chabot était présente à l'audience. Plus de détails quand j'en saurai davantage. (Menahem Macina).

Enderlin-gate?
Famed France 2 correspondent Charles Enderlin was embarrassed today in the Paris trial regarding the controversial Mohammed al Dura videotape shown on the French network. Roger L. Simon spoke with Richard Landes during a break. More audio to come at the conclusion of today’s hearing.
by Roger L. Simon
The appeal’s trial of Philippe Karsenty - the French media gadfly who accused France II of promulgating a fabricated video in the matter of the Palestinian boy Mohammed al Dura- is having its final arguments today in Paris (final judgment to come in a few weeks). This is an important trial because the al Dura tape was used to foment Intifada II and has been called the Mother of All Fauxtography.
The first trial went against Karsenty, but the appeal is looking better for him, according to Richard Landes, a Boston University history professor who has been covering the Al Dura affair. Pajamas Media reached Landes during a break in the trial. (An audio file is linked below).
Karsenty had just presented an “extensive” Power Point about how the tape was fabricated. The judge questioned Enderlin about this, but impatiently cut off the answers by the France II correspondent, which, Landes said, were the French equivalent of "humbug" or a more popular Anglo-Saxonism. Enderlin’s answer to why this supposedly exclusive video contained footage from another previously aired show was particularly evasive. Enderlin said "You have to understand the conditions." What they were he didn’t say.
More to come at the conclusion of the trial in a few hours.
