Well with all the hubbub about Congressman Foley and the "overfriendly" emails to pages who were minors I thought it best to post a link to a very good book on how to I.D. a pedophile.
This idea that covering up this kind of thing will work has got to be one of the bigger d'uhs of our time. Actually, the thought that one can get away with anything outside the law is insanity in action.
As for an explanation for why the Congress hid this, it would seem to be the Administration's practice. In April of 2006 Brian Doyle, an appointee to Department of Homeland Security, was arrested. He had been caught soliciting a 14 year old female online. But the 14 year old actually was an undercover cop. In September, he pleaded no contest and though he could have served life for 23 felony charges he now only faces up to 5 years in a Florida prison but possibly on probation for years after and must register as a sexual offender. He's 55.
At his age, how long has this been going on? The internet chats were graphic and he stated he had a alot to lose. The reality is that he already lost it years before when this started and did not seek help then. The same will probably be said for Congressman Foley. It is alleged that this had been going at least since 2001. This is when other Congressional members knew about it. But chances are others knew even earlier.
