The Important Questions about Brian Doyle are about the DHS Itself....imho

[Sparkly]

First Question:
Is this not a position requiring a high security clearance? Usually, those investigators mean business and they find out ANYthing and everything. Now, I know it's said that pedophiles cover their tracks -- but are we supposed to believe that he was THAT good at secrecy, and was caught giving out all this info about himself? Or are we supposed to believe this was the ONLY time he ever tried such a thing, and was simply caught the first time?

Second Question:
Is it possible they didn't DO security clearances when they set up DHS? Was it ALL about BushCo cronyism??

Third Question:
If a pedophile was in a high-level position at DHS, and nobody knew, then who ELSE is working at DHS?? Are there drug addicts, psychopaths, terrorist sympathizers, spies...?? Is this a new indication of a whole new area of incompetence from this administration??

Fourth Question:
Doesn't this warrant a top-to-bottom investigation and house-cleaning of the whole BushCo DHS??

I'm just sayin'...

1. Well, this clown was a CAREERIST

And the job of the CAREERIST, traditionally, is to play "back up" to the political appointee in the "meet the press" position. So he should have had his clearance updated regularly...

It is troubling. I know that, awhile back, they had a SERIOUS backlog, and they devised a new system of prioritizing, which, clearly, as we see, ain't seeming to work too well.

They're probably outsourcing that work to India, too!

As for incompetence in BushCo, well, we hold some truths to be self-evident!!!!!

Investigation??? Until we take back the Hill, there won't be one. They don't like holding up the mirror and seeing what they really are...

3. Investigation

I hear you on taking back the Hill -- but it wouldn't hurt, to that end, to make some noise about the careless disregard for national security indicated by the presence of a pedophile in the department...

6. Oh, sure, we can PRESS for an investigation, but my guess is that

the Chertoff Brigade on the Hill will push for an internal DHS investigation. Can't air their dirty laundry, after all....

[Sparkly]

7. Even the pressing gets the questions out there...

And that alone is something.

There MIGHT even be scenarios that could alarm Freepers! Imagine...

Adult: "There could be KGB agents in DHS, with access to classified information."
Freeper: "That's okay, the Preznit saw into Putin's soul."

Adult: "There could be drug addicts or psychopaths in the DHS, with less than ideal judgment."
Freeper: "So? Lots of drug addicts and psychopaths go to work every day."

Adult: "There could be unknown Liberals in the DHS, who hate the preznit so much, they'd do ANYthing in their lust for power!"
Freeper: "OMIGOD!!!"
Adult: "Not only that, some of them could be GAY!!"
Freeper: "HOLY CRAP, THIS IS SERIOUS!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!"

9. If they are looking for gays, they just need to check their political

party leadership, like Ken Mehlman, and the Press Secretary, Scotty McFivechins, and that chubby bunny who was in the faith based office there in the WH. The hills are alive with the sound of music, over that way! Of course, that smell of cedar surrounding them is due to the fact that they spend all their time in the closet....

10. send a letter to your local paper

there really is no "they" to do this. We have to step and add the pressure. I'm just saying :hi:

2. Don't forget Bernie Kerik.

Smirky's first choice for DHS.

4. Ah yes, I had forgotten!!! nt

5. I believe that, technically, if one is...

a Republican, no kind of perversion is considered to be a security risk. In fact, if one is a Republican, one cannot possibly have any kind of character flaws - Jesus washes all that away.

8. More questions

How did he find this child? Was Doyle's internet porn limited to this one incident? Are there any indications that this is not an isolated incident. If not, how many other times has he done this on government time with government resources? Was Doyle trolling on child porn websites or chat rooms?

If he is participating on child porn websites doesn't this type of behavior open him up to blackmail from other pedophiles? What involvment did Doyle have with DHS' "Operation Predator"?

In this instance, the child that Doyle was communicating with was in Florida. Was there any indication in his correspondence with this minor that he was willing to meet her. If so, how many trips has Doyle taken since he assumed office? What were the purposes of these trips? Were these trips requested by others or by Doyle? Does Doyle have a favorite or favorite traveling companions?

What does this tell us about the internet security and monitoring within the DHS itself? Was Doyle on a watchlist somewhere? Who hired him and what is his previous work experience?

11. Another question-Did her really think teenage girls would think he's cute?

Honestly, this ain't no Shaun Cassiday

Not exactly Tiger Beat material, is he?

12. From DHS website

"Most applicants under serious consideration for an appointment will go through a full FBI background check in which their employment, professional, personal, travel, medical, financial, legal, military and educational histories will be reviewed and scrutinized."

"Most" applicants... Hmm....
