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. trevor,

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.

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 truly hope he gets what's coming to him. I heard that they were thinking about asking Roman Polanski to step in for Doyle until they find a permanent replacement.
