Home Security Official Arrested in Polk Case
A deputy press secretary with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was arrested Tuesday night and charged with trying to “seduce” a 14-year-old Polk County girl over the Internet, sheriff’s officials said.
Brian J. Doyle, 55, didn’t know he was communicating with an undercover Polk County sheriff’s detective, officials said.
Doyle was arrested at his Silver Springs, Md., home on 23 Polk County charges. He is accused of using his computer to seduce a child and transmitting harmful materials to a minor.

This is the second DHS official to be nabbed for soliciting a minor for sex. The first one was captured in a Dateline NBC expose’.
For me, the best part of this is: I wanted to see what the great gasbag Hannity would have to say about Delay’s retirement, and naturally he had to have on that paragon of civility and reason, Ann Coulter, to explain how awful the Democrats were for criminalizing politics and hounding such an honorable man out of office. Just as she was finishing her rant, she was cut off in mid sentence by a FOX news breaking report about the Homeland Security Deputy Press Secretary being arrested as a child molester! I nearly spit out the good German beer I was drinking to celebrate the fall of the Hammer, I was laughing so hard (since, as I commented on the Delay article, I learned of his departure too late to celebrate)!
I begin to imagine thaty God has finally had it up to here with these people.
I heard that they were thinking about asking Roman Polanski to step in for Doyle until they find a permanent replacement. On the other hand, Robin Williams might work better as a celebrity look-alike. Or if they really wanted to confuse us, they might get Brian Doyle Murray.
Seriously, what kind of an absolute freaking MORON do you have to be to work for a “law enforcement” agency and pull that kind of unbelievably stupid stunt? I truly hope he gets what’s coming to him.
Homeland Security: Trapped between secret police and farce. Though they seem to be moving more and more towards farce.
If there is one thing that I hate more then anything it is abuse of children – the sickos who do this deserve the worst.
Besides the obvious disgust I feel at this man’s predilections, I also feel disgust that our government agencies continue to be filled with incompetent personnel. If this man didn’t even know enough to not practice his ugly little deviancies while working for law enforcement, how confident should I be that he managed to keep terrorists out?
Curmudgeon…
Not to be nitpicky, but the guy in the Dateline story could best be described as “some dude who said he works at DHS.” The term “DHS Official” is a bit of a stretch.
At any rate, it boggles my mind that this idiot could be as brazen as he was. Maybe he’ll release a statement saying that he was just reaching out to troubled youth, as, you know, a father figure.
I suppose now he will announce his resignation so he can spend more time with his family. Unless of course his sentence includes a no-contact order with minors. Big OOOPS!
I don’t know which is worse:
1) That he is a pervert who solicited phone sex from somebody he thought was a 14-year-old girl; or,
2) That he gave our his real name, position, office phone number, etc. to somebody he believed was a 14-year-old girl.
The first makes him a criminal. The second makes him criminally stupid.
It’s REALLY high time to do some cleanup among the Bush political appointees.
We’ve had a NASA guy who faked a bachelor’s degree and tried to remind experienced scientists that the Big Bang was only a theory. We’ve had a comestic policy adivser whose a petty thief. Not an ambitious thief, mind you. A petty thief. And now we have this guy.
Make me wonder what other fruitcakes will fall out if I shake the Bush administration tree.

Maybe he took the job with Homeland Security on the off-chance he may get the chance to strip-serch a girl (it’s Alito-approved) every now and then.
Pennywit, you are just another partisan socialist Democrat among the moonbat hordes, and are obviously aligned with the terrists.
If you spend your day working in a department which checks peoples’ reading preferences, that could come back at you to bite you in the ass. However, an arrest is not a conviction; at the moment he is technically innocent.
We really need to give this guy the benefit of the doubt. After all, it could be like what happened to Neil Bush when he went to Bangkok. Remember when those underage prostitutes came into his hotel room and forced him to have sex with them? Brian Doyle could be just so attractive that 14yo are drawn to him! Don’t hate him because he’s beautiful.
Bryan,
I suppose you believe the Duke Lacrosse team as well?
Our GOP, the Pedophile Party. Innocent of course, until sentenced.
I worked at the IRS with a guy who was found guilty of pretending to be a fashion photographer, and then convincing the girls to let him spank them!
He was, of course, allowed to resign.

trevor,
I believe that it is a fair trial which decides the guilt or innocence of a person, not a media circus. Here in the UK, you cannot report events in a trial before they have been heard in court, and that way witnesses and lawyers are not able to appear on TV before the trial is over. That aspect of law I think is good (there’s a lot that isn’t, however). It also makes for thrilling news reporting, as you hear about it just after the jury do.
