Here's another guest blog from Sgt. Joe Duran.

Another Woodward book came out this past week as did the NIE report. They seem to tell stories that contradict the written record and conventional wisdom. How can that be? Well, it seems we are told that in war there are alot of smart people in the room with opinions. They work at the respective intelligence agencies and at the Pentagon. We are also told that those that 'leak-speak" to reporters, are usually the ones with a great big axe to grind because no one in authority would listen to them.

So why aren't they grinding away?

Maybe they just can't FIND a real reporter.

Back to the Page Sex Scandal:

We're not so sure if we should call it that just yet. Raunchy emails that weirded a young boy out is one thing. Full blown sex is another. I think the biggest scandal is the unwillingness for those who could best fix the problem to do something about it. It just seems they were more interested in sweeping the whole thing under the rug for political purposes. Putting Party before Pages. Just horrible. Hey reporters! How about these questions:

How many pages have similar stories but chose not to report them?

Could it be that the parents also put party before the welfare of their own children, choosing not to rock the boat and any political access they enjoy?

Speaking of political access, just who are these kids and their families? How does a page get chosen? How can a parent not want to pursuit these allegations aggressively?

These are questions we would like to know the answer to. I mean, when it was known that priests were abusing their positions didn't the press go to town on the topic? I just don't see it happening now.

Hey reporters, where are you?
