Senator Larry Craig Interview

Here's the story: Sen. Larry Craig's interview with Matt Lauer

I'm sorry to say that based on what the officer claims happened, with Craig peering in his stall to the point where the officer could see his eye color, as well as the elaborate ritual of gestures that reportedly give clear signals to those in the know that the signaler is soliciting sexual activity (which Mr. Craig explained was due to his having "a wide stance"), to Mr. Craig's decades long history of rumored homosexual activity (how unlucky of him to have had such rumors swirling around him and then be arrested for this if he was innocent), and the fact that he pled guilty all seem to indicate to me that Mr. Craig has some issues.

I feel sorry for his wife and his kids.

Any thoughts?

Unfortunately I have heard no evidence to counter the crimes he is purported to have committed. Also if he is not an outright homosexual then it is obvious, to me, that he does engage in the act, I believe the police officers not him.

I pray that he ceases this self destructive act immediately and forms a genuine repentant relationship with God.

Most likely, Larry Craig is guilty of the "crime" he previously admitted to. This is, of course, unfortunate.

What is also unfortunate, however, is that what he did is actually a crime. In reality, it is a thoughtcrime. Craig has aggressed against no person and committed no real offense. This isn't to say what he did is moral, for it definitely is not. Craig may have intended to have gay sex in the restroom, but he didn't, and the state cannot prove that he did. Even if they could somehow discern his thoughts, it troubles me that intention is enough to render someone guilty. Another in a long series of steps toward Ingsoc.
