  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

On Friday, federal prosecutors in Virginia said James Gordon Meek, 53, admitted using an online messaging service to send and receive images of children engaged in sexual acts.

Federal authorities searched Meek’s home last April, and he took a leave of absence from ABC News.

The raid on Meek’s house was first noted in an article published by Rolling Stone last year, which suggested the search was somehow connected to Meek’s work as an investigative reporter covering various security-related matters. It was later revealed that the magazine’s editor, Noah Shachtman, knew Meek was being investigated on child pornography charges, but worked to cover up those details because he had a personal connection with the journalist. The cover-up was exposed by NPR earlier this year.
