A new scandal erupted from Department of Homeland Security this morning when it was announced that Brian Doyle, deputy press secretary, had been arrested on charges stemming from indecent computer use. 
Doyle is accused of trying to seduce a child into onliine sex and transmitting pornographic material.
"He graphically explained to a 14-year-old girl what he would like to do to her and what he would like her to do to him," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.
Doyle thought he was getting hot and heavy with a young girl, but instead his online conquest turned out to be an undercover detective in Florida.
"He started his communication on the computer, clearly identified himself from the very beginning as Brian Doyle from the Department of Homeland Security, where he's a deputy press secretary," Judd said. "Apparently, he was trying to impress this 14-year-old."
He told her his office phone number and the number for his cell phone, which was issued by the government, Judd said.
What kind of deranged lunatic does this kind of thing?
And what 14-year-old girl is likely to be impressed with his position within the Department of Homeland Security?
A 40-year-old conservative political junkie perhaps, but it makes you wonder how somone with absolutely no common sense holds a position of influence within the government. Scary.
Doyle "admitted he liked young girls," confessed, and now is in jail in Maryland, according to Judd.
Even more disturbing: The former head of the DHS Task Force to Stop Child Predators, Frank Figuero, has recently pleaded guilty to exposing himself and masturbating in front of a 16-year old. Yep. Makes you feel safe that these individuals protect our country AND are members of the Family Values party.
