Bad people and I want to cut them no slack, please don't misunderstand.

But it looks like we're arresting people for making plans to travel to other countries where (potentially) they could commit crimes against foreign citizens. I have to say that I'm not completely comfortable with this. Law enforcement is 2 or 3 steps ahead of the law-breaker. Reminds me of the Tom Cruise movie from a few years ago.

If you and 6 of your buddies make plans to rob a bank...It's a crime.

It's called conspiracy, and we have been prosecuting it since the dawn of time.

Perhaps the actual charges will be against contracting with someone to arrange such a trip.

North American Man-boy love association?

What did they think this group was all about?

As far as teachers being part of the group, why does this suprise anyone?
As the other poster pointed out by mentioning the priest (denomination of the church is irrelevant) pedophiles always seek employment where they can be close to, and have authority over their victims. How do we root out these pedophile teachers? Simple. Just observe who are the activists wanting to teach children perverted sexual behaviour

So, if I had evidence that someone is PLANNING to come over and murder everyone in your house, should I wait until they try it, or should I give you a call?

Back in the 60s,
Brian Epstein would go to Spain
to "vacation" with

all the bull fighters . . .
John spent twelve days with him there
on one of his trips . . .

That seems to be "conspiracy to commit" laws are all about. If law enforcement has to wait to act until after a crime is committed, you get citizens taking the law into their own hands in self-defense. With sufficient evidence, the cops can put sickos like these away for a good long time.

Don't worry about theses guys....it was a sting operation and the NAMBLA members thought they were "safe" and among "friends"....but they had an FBI agent undercover to record it all. These guys can't hurt any more kids.

Same here. I would not at all mind seeing NAMBLA's membership roster posted alongside the Megan's Law Sex Predator lists so that these animals can be exposed and the two lists compared (a lot of matches will probably show up) , but I don't know what you can charge someone who's planning to do something nasty outside the jurisdiction of the US with other than "Felony Thought Crime".
