Nope, at least not from the incidents mention here. The timing is wrong, SR flipped between 12/98 and 6/99. The incidents in this thread occurred 4/01 and 6/01. See piasa's timeline here.

He was probably doing this while IN Iraq. They probably have pics of that. Hence the flip.

Yes, however there might be another shoe drop here. Perhaps he's been in trouble before and it hasn't come out. Afterall, this took almost 2 years for someone to leak it.

I know these events aren't related because the flip was earlier but I'm wondering if the Iraqis could have set him up with a minor and then "grabbed him by the shorthairs" with some photo's. Heck, the Russians used to milk that ploy (not necessarily or exclusively with minors though) like a cow for compromising folks...
