[Our man in washington]

Good find. Thanks.

According to an article in the Democrat and Chronicle at http://www.democratandchronicle.com/news/1016IE23A4N_rape_news.shtml this man was a Christian who homeschooled all his kids. His pastor is supporting him.

None of that proves he's innocent, of course. But let's face it: certain elements of our society love to demonize Christians and homeschoolers.

Also, when we find people doing really sleazy crimes, we usually (but not always) find some long-term patterns. In this guy's case, he seemed to be a pretty normal guy with a successful business and a healthy social life. I'm fully aware people like that can secretly commit horrible crimes, but it's not the normal profile.

Last month our family watched a movie which we rented. No one can watch this true story and not come away with serious doubts about our criminal investigations. I highly recommend it.

It has made me into a cynic. What they put this family through is heartbreaking. The lies are astounding.

So how does an innocent Christian man find it within himself to put pen to paper and describe in detail--not just an "I did it", but in detail--raping and sodomizing his daughter?

Active imagination? If so, that is sick all by itself and not the sign of anyone with a "healthy social life".
