Homeland security aide faces porn charge (1 Viewer)

[hipsterdufus]

This is worse than the guy stealing from Target....

Apparently Doyle, who is the deputy press secretary for Homeland Security, was eliciting sex from a 14 year old on DHS computers. How stupid can you get? He told the undercover officer that he worked for DHS, and sent a tape of himself in a "comprosing position." The agent said that she was home alone with a webcam and was going to send Doyle back a sexy video. Doyle then left work to go home, where he was arrested and charged with 23 felony charges.

Yes, its comforting to me to know that this Republican created Department of so called "homeland security" is doing such a fine job of securing us in our homes.

....yet another example of the Republican culture of corruption.

Tell us what this scumbag and his disgusting sexual habits have to do with political party. This is not a political story. It's a story about a petty criminal that hopefully will go to jail - whether he is a government official or a grade school janitor. But then again, we're used to you scraping the gutter for partisan reasons, disney.

It doesn't have anything to do with political power per se, however, it is yet again another example of the culture of corruption which exists within the Republican party today. Don't get me wrong, this type of thing is not immune to any political party, however, yet again bad judgement on the part of this administration to place this type of individual in such a high level administrative post.

Are you saying he was already a known sexual predator and was placed in that position? Come on, disney, your culture of corruption talking point is getting out of hand. It's ridiculous to make this political....and yet, expected. This mindset is why your party suffers loss after loss and you can't see it.

 

[disneydude]

Thats not what I am saying at all. What I am saying is that this is just another example of the caliber of people that this adminstration has put into high level positions within the administration. Of course they didn't know upfront that he might have been a sexual predator anymore than someone would predict the character flaws of many of the other within the Republican culture of corruption.

On a side note: Did anyone see Jimmy Kimmel?
I loved his comment that went something like this:

Its a pretty sad commentary on the Department of Homeland Security that a top level executive wasn't able to realize that someone posing as a 14 year old girl was law enforcement. How can we expect them to seek out Al Queda.

I thought it was pretty funny.

I read that in this morning paper. It's funny cause it's true.

On a side note- can you imagine what the reaction of Cons would be if these things kept happening to a Lib. administration? All these people, or most of them, would be screaming about what an inept, corrupt and unprofessional administration this is. Now what you get is what does that matter?... Oh, there's a perfectly good reason for that... Well, they're just out to get that guy, the charges will never stand in a court of law. Even when they get convicted, see Dukester, that has nothing to do with the GOP as a whole...that's just one guy.

The Department of Homeland Security is in charge of security clearances for the federal government. Apparently they missed one…..

They are apparently very good at securing 14 year old girls.

He looks a bit like Bush dont he? :|

Very funny observation. I actually hadn't noticed but I can see what you mean. (To the right-wingers.....don't get upset, we are not equating Bush with a child molester so don't read more into this post than is intended....it was simply an observation).

"Tell us what this scumbag and his disgusting sexual habits have to do with political party. This is not a political story."

Well, the head of the agency was appointed by the White House and was a Republican. He then got to hand pick his own folks. In an only slightly watered-down fashion is this not a case of Republican leadership having bad judgment. And only because the guy they appointed pick the actual freak in question.

But ah... Pedophiles exist all around us, and we usually don't know it. I'd hardly try to associate one being busted with a failure of a party or an administration except in that they picked a person of poor character, again.

This guy was fired for downloading kiddie porn at work from his last job. This is another example of incompetence - when you don't bother to do a background check on an employee. When you don't do the background check for someone who works for DHS, it's even more negligent.

Kind of like the NSA who tried to run out of the building with classified documents hidden in his clothes eh?

It was a lame attempt at covering how much they really knew about rising threats of Islamic BS.


Berger Will Plead Guilty To Taking Classified Paper


How quickly we forget.....

"Sandy Berger intentionally destroyed the only copies of top secret documents about this country's historical knowledge of looming terrorism threats for clearly political purposes, even though a bipartisan Congressional commission was requesting and utilizing all such documents in an effort to formulate recommendations about how to protect America from another terrorist attack."


Where the hell is Ben Affleck when we need someone to scream "TREASON"?

Ah:
Neo-con rule #1 When all else fails, blaim it on Clinton (or his administration)

Berger got what was coming to him. The system worked.

Under terms negotiated by Berger's attorneys and the Justice Department, he has agreed to pay a $10,000 fine and accept a three-year suspension of his national security clearance.

Is that true? He was really fired from his last job for kiddie porn?

No Pac...it ain't.

Doyle retired from Time Magazine in 2001. I searched pretty thoroughly on the net and found ONE reference to his downloading porn on Time's computer...and that reference was on a blog site called "TalkLeft.com", which advertises itself on a Google search as "liberal coverage of crime related political and injustice news"...hardly impartial reporting.

Even that site, admittedly liberal, says that he was only accused of surfing for adult porn, not kiddie porn, and that the police were not involved...just a Time internal repremand.

Doyle was hired by DHS a year after retiring from Time into a job that didn't require a security claerance. It was only 3-4 years later, in 2005, that he was promoted to the position he held when busted for the kiddie porn, which DID require a "secret", then, later, a "top secret" clearance. An repremand from Time would not show up in his background check.

Heck...it may not have even happened. The only attribution for his alleged actions at Time was an "un-named" source, speaking to an admittedly liberal "media outlet".

That is the only reference I can find on any prior incident...and it doesn't even come close to implying ANYTHING about kiddie porn.

Ya gotta remember...just 'cause dufus wishes it, and says it, doesn't necessarily make it so...

Seemed a little hard to swallow.
