Homeland Security Official Arrested

The deputy press secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was arrested Tuesday for using the Internet to seduce what he thought was a teenage girl, authorities said.
Brian J. Doyle, 55, was arrested at his residence in Maryland on charges of use of a computer to seduce a child and transmission of harmful material to a minor. The charges were issued out of Polk County, Fla.
Doyle, of Silver Spring, Md., had a sexually explicit conversation with what he believed was a 14-year-old girl whose profile he saw on the Internet on March 14, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
The girl was an undercover Polk County Sheriff's Computer Crimes detective, the sheriff's office said.
Doyle sent the girl pornographic movie clips and had sexually explicit conversations via the Internet, the statement said.
During other online conversations, Doyle revealed his name, that he worked for the Homeland Security Department and offered his office and government issued cell phone numbers, the sheriff's office said.
Doyle also sent photos of himself to the girl, but authorities said they were not sexually explicit.
On several occasions, Doyle instructed her to perform a sexual act while thinking of him and described explicit activities he wanted to have with her, investigators said.
Doyle later had a telephone conversation with an undercover deputy posing as the teenager and encouraged her to purchase a web camera to send graphic images of herself to him, the sheriff's office said.
He was booked into Maryland's Montgomery County jail where he was waiting to be extradited to Florida, the sheriff's office said.
There was no immediate response to messages left on Doyle's government-issued cell phone and his e-mail, and he could not be reached by phone at the jail for comment.
Homeland Security press secretary Russ Knocke in Washington said he could not comment on the details of the investigation. "We take these allegations very seriously, and we will cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation," Knocke said.
Doyle, who is the fourth-ranking official in the department's public affairs office, was expected to be placed on administrative leave Wednesday morning.

Wow, not only crooks and liars, but pervs too!
On the heels of the White House shoplifter, this is rather amusing, eh?
These guys have been bullying us for six years. Finally . . . FINALLY! We're coming to our senses as a body politic, and the bugs are in a frenzy trying to get out from under their rocks.
The story was disgusting. This clown probably cruised chicks at the local high school by flashing his Homeland Security badge. Being a guy, I can only imagine. But my daughter tells me stories. . .
What a worm. By his fruits shall ye know him.
While the right wing jerk offs are on some Pepsi Can kick...God help us all
Seriously, folks, this is yet one more reason to support Feingold's move for censure. Do we want some warrantless bug snooping into our kids computers?
I can't wait for the republicans to go on the TV and be all "He stepped down, not for the child he was going to molest, but for all the children he never touched. He is a man of courage, of principle, we all owe him a debt of gratitude for helping to make sure ALL Americans are safe, even the little girls. And it's a shame that the climate in Washington has fallen to such a low that a man can't even do his job, protecting the American people from terrorists like those who attacked us on 9/11 -- we were attacked on 9/11 -- can't even do his job without the liberal media attack machine and the activist judges going after them. They won't have Doyle to kick around anymore."
Tisk, tisk....Republicans sure love their kiddy porn, don't they?Gotta love those family values.
If I were an al-qaeda agent, I'd pose as a 14 yr old girl on line...
This sort of puts "No Child Left Behind" in a new light
Makes me wonder what they really had in mind when BushCo came up with this scheme.
Warrentless evesdropping--nice to know child pornographers
might have the right to wire tap your teen-age daughter without a warrant, isn't it?
This should wake a few people up as to why we can't just trust people (and I don't care what party) in power to make good decisions without some oversight. Who's to say the people in charge of wiretapping without warrants don't house such a pervert? Who's to say that the man listening in to YOUR phone isn't actually taking notes on what YOUR teenage daughter tells her closest friends about her likes, dislikes, fears, turn-ons, and everything else a pervert like this could use to bait and trap her. Like, what time she goes to the mall alone. What time you'll be out of the house. What evidence could be planted to frame you for anything that happens?
