The worse part is that the Deputy Press Secratery for Homeland Defense was not smart enough to get a local hooker because that could cause embarassment and disgrace. This is a much better approach...NOT! GET PEOPLE LIKE HIM OUT OF CONTROLONG POSITIONS AND OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT. At least Clinton was decent enough to stay off the internet. I wonder how much Monica cost that day? Now that I am on the subject...I wonder If Monica was any good at what she was doing? Clinton would have not been caught if she made a meal out of him.

The urge for young girls is very strong in men and particularly inmiddle-aged men such as this unlucky man.
It would not be news in France.
Let's go with everything you have said for the sake of the argument.
This man is in law enforcement, correct? His job is to uphold the law as it is written, correct?
The girl is a MINOR as far as the law is concerned, correct?

THAT is the newsworthy part of the story, that a member of the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY had so little regard for the law that he actually USED his position with Homeland Security to impress the little teeny bopper.
And by the way, in a country and a society where sexual relations with a girl of 14 isnt news I suspect that they are not living at home with the parents AS A CHILD, you know, playing with dolls, having sleepovers with their little girlie-friends, etc.
In other words, a fourteen year old girl in one of these countries you describe is still an "emancipated" fourteen year old girl as opposed to the typical mall rat you see here in American suburbia.

You wont find one of those fourteen year olds in a chatroom on a webcam, and no matter what, the law is the law, and if we have to worry about Homeland Security people making mincemeat out of the law in this area....well then where else should we be concerned about the far reaching and awesome power of
HOMELAND SECURITY?????

There's your "news".

I'm sitting here expecting to see Tamara from Minnesota, popping in and saying that she is "right behind the government" in reference to the last item.

Anybody want to bet?

Talk about the fox guarding the hen house. What's new?
The list by chs84 is not surprising, but well worth putting out there to make a point. When I hear anyone say they are Republican or the Christian Right, I back up. But I do think this constant barrage of sexual abuse is the nature of the male 'beast' based on child molestation statistics in general. Men need to reign in the beast on each other. It's up to the 'real' men to expose these perverted abusers of children, along with the mere handful of male and female officers doing 'our' battle. Battle on! Where's Xena when you need her?

Now I understand why the Republican party needs to be so greedy when it comes to money...someone has to pay the attorneys and court fees. Is this really factual? Can I locate this information in one place or do I have to search the entire US police department and US court records to locate this info. It seems that Googleing it would take a long time.

Do you have any knowledge of Democratic sexual offenses? It would be interesting to see the difference if any.
