Piddie Korn scandal
I was watching CNN the other night, and the "big" story of the hour was the bust of a huge KP ring (I'm not going to spell it out, but it rhymes with Piddie Korn. Again, I'm reluctant to use the actual words, should the govt. be on the hunt for such terms on the web, I don't want anyone to come across this little diatribe).
Supposedly, 27 people were involved, all across the country (from Nevada to New York), and in Britain, Canada and Australia. This was allegedly one of the biggest and most disturbing cases of KP yet, involving live broadcasts, torture, and other dastardly acts with children as young as 18 months.
Perhaps you heard about this big news? It was everywhere the day it broke. But since then...? Not a word, that I've seen. I've been checking the newspaper and occasionally switching the news on, but this case has apparently all but disappeared.
Now, please understand, friends... I think KP exists, and I think it's a horrendous, disgusting thing. But I have a few concerns about this particular case.
1. Of the 27 alleged perpetrators, only one was actually named
2. Supposedly, all 7 of the children involved were found and placed in "safe custody"
3. Why, if this is one of the biggest KP cases in recent history, has there been virtually no news since the story broke? Wouldn't you expect more details to be constantly coming out, as more people are arrested, and more disturbing facts are learned?
4. Is it only coincidence that this story broke later in the same day that the US Govt. won a small victory in its battle with Google over turning over some of its search records? What was the reason the govt. gave for requesting the records from Google? Well, to combat KP, of course.
Am I the only one skeptical enough to contrive this scenario:
Govt. wants Google records of searches for some reason, and subpoenas Google to surrender them. Google fights it, and the knowing public cries "invasion of privacy." Govt. and Google come to a settlement of only 50,000 records, citing the need to protect the public from KP predators using Google and the Internet. To reinforce the point, a massive KP ring is "discovered" that stretches from one end of the country to the other, and includes some of the most heinous and disturbing acts against children yet.
And now, since the story originally broke, I have not seen one more detail surface, one story about the alleged perpetrators or their victims. Sorry, folks, but sounds fishy to me.

Maybe that's because they're trying to protect the identities of those of us who were involved in the KP ring ... I mean, all those guys in the KP ring ... not me ... I don't even know why I typed that ... let's impeach Bush, who's with me!?
You're a sick man, spungo. Did I say "man"? Oops.
Hey, you're not 'spose to respond to my posts! That's not the protocol! I thought this was merely a place for me to make sarcastic remarks, not to indulge in thoughtful conversation... I don't even know what to think anymore!
You can think: "Hey, I wonder when I'll ever be ready for Rob to school me in Command & Conquer."
