When the witness, working under the supervision of the FBI, asked whether McHaney was interested in sex with a 13-year-old...

Yah know, I sure wish there was some other way to get these degenerates off the street than to use sting operations. I recognize that they're effective. But the government should not be "creating" a crime that wouldn't have otherwise happened.

Law enforcement should be about finding people who *are* breaking a law, not testing people to see who may break a law. That's what a sting is. It's the testing of someone to see if they will break a law under some set of circumstances. Something about that makes me uneasy.

It's hard to argue with in a particularly vile situation, like this guy, but on another level I think it's just not the right way to do business.
