World magazine should likewise face questions about why they pay women to come forward to make these claims.
You do know that World Magazine is a conservative Christian publication? If there's anyone on their staff not voting Republican in the presidential race, it might be a few people who think Romney is too liberal and decided to vote for the Constitution Party instead.

That is exactly right, GeronL.
This story happened because a reporter covering a Christian conference found out that the speaker, a Christian college president, was being accused of sharing a hotel room with a woman not his wife. At the very least, it looks as if the Christian college president acted very foolishly.
I realize this looks like an Obama hit job, but I think D’Souza did this one to himself.
And there, frankly, go all of us without the grace of Christ.
It appears that Satan found the chink in D’Souza’s armor. We all have our chinks and our temptations that we need to fight.
The only difference between us and D’Souza is most of our sins and foolish actions will never be found out as publicly as his — but that's a job hazard of seeking a position of Christian leadership. Satan works harder to target generals and colonels since he can do much more damage when leaders fall.
James 3:1-6 has clear applications to those who seek out positions of Christian leadership:
“3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.”
