WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Department of Homeland Security spokesman charged with soliciting a minor over the Internet was disciplined in a previous job after an incident in which pornographic images were seen on an office computer, his friends and former co-workers said.

Brian Doyle resigned from his Homeland Security Department post Friday, his 56th birthday.

Friends and former co-workers say Doyle was disciplined by Time magazine after he allegedly used company computers to view adult pornography in the publication's Washington bureau office.

Rep. Peter King, R-New York, said Doyle had access to sensitive information and could have left himself open to being blackmailed by terrorists, foreign governments or organized crime.

Homeland Security's failure to uncover the Time incident shows "serious deficiencies in the background clearance process at the Department of Homeland Security," King said.

1. How do we know that DHS in fact FAILED to uncover the previous incident??

2. They probably didn't even look! Remember that NYC police chief

that they almost hired? A mob member...I forget the details. Jualiani recommended him! He also became head of HLS.

4. You forgot about cronyism

All the guy had to do -- or prove -- when he was being considered for the job was total loyalty to George W Bush. They didn't check for anything else, whether it be criminal past or competency in one's field.

5. If they can't do proper background checks

on their own people, how is DHS going to keep America safer?

Where's the detective work? Where's the attention to detail? Criminy!
