zeus, I don't know the details of every single case you presented so I can't comment on them, but I have long said that those guilty of sexual abuse or knowingly covering their tracks and reassigning them AGAINST THE ADVICE of trained psychologists/psychiatrists etc.. were scumbags for putting others at danger. When they committed crimes they should be prosecuted and when they behaved irresponsibly or immorally they should be stripped of their power and/or ability to endanger anyone. I just added one group of scumbags to the list above. I think people that hate the Catholic Church in a broader sense because they don't like its teachings (or for whatever reason) that are using lies, spin, exaggeration, misleading stats and terms etc... to attack the entire church instead of just going after the guilty individuals and without also going after public schools, day care centers, rabbis, clerics, ministers etc.. with the same fury when they are guilty of similar crimes are also scumbags. You are either against sexual abuse and cover ups whenever and wherever they occur and report on it properly in the press or you are scumbag.

It turns out that Glenn Beck's kidnapping stats for Phoenix and Tucson were, well, lies. As usual. The rate in Phoenix actually went down in 2009 vs. 2008, and during both years, neither Phoenix nor Tucson broke into the top ten cities in the U.S. in Kidnappings, either in total or as a percentage of the population. Camden, N.J. was number one. Damned Mexicans crossing the border and then hitchhiking to Camden just to kidnap paranoid white Americans. <G>
