This is getting so much attention, by a  spasmodic public easily titillated by sensational news, that it deserves an  opinion.  It has all the sensational and non-evidential conclusions as the  events of 9/11, which actually has LESS credible and substantiated evidence than  this, and will be presented in allusion to the fashion that the media seems to  desire.
  
  
   According to the prosecutor’s complaint, obtained Tuesday by The Associated  Press, airport police Sgt. Dave Karsnia, who was investigating allegations of  sexual conduct in airport restrooms, went into a stall shortly after noon on  June 11 and closed the door.
  
 Rational Analysis by Playing  the Skeptic
  
 Such a titillating and tantalizing headline  grabber like this (spread by Drudge) makes me wonder just who is behind this  benign and overinflated story--i.e. undercover bathroom cop arrests Senator for  tapping foot in stall.
  
   
  After a man in the adjacent stall left, Craig entered it and put  his roller bag against the front of the stall door, “which Sgt.  Karsnia’s experience has indicated is used to attempt to conceal sexual  conduct by blocking the view from the front of the stall,” said the  complaint.
  
 NOTE:    USING A PUBLIC RESTROOM WILL NEVER BE THE SAME FOR  MEN.  YOU ARE AN "INDECENCY SUSPECT" IF YOU SET YOUR SUITCASE AT THE FRONT OF THE  STALL.  (There is no where else in a stall to safely put your baggage is there?   Any man who would guard his possessions will take them in the stall to prevent  theft, and there is no room behind the toilet, and the sides would be too close  to adjacent persons in stalls.)
  
  the officer saw Craig gazing into his stall through the crack  between the stall door and the frame.
 Okay, this would disturb anyman, but a  "gaze" can be misconstrued (unless you believe that a toilet cop is  infallible).
  
  The complaint said Craig then tapped his right foot several  times and moved it closer to Karsnia’s stall and then moved it to where  it touched Karsnia’s foot. Karsnia recognized that “as a signal often  used by persons communicating a desire to engage in sexual conduct,”  the complaint said.
 Foot-tapping is not a sign of being a sodomite in a public  restroom, as many men will testify to.  That it is a "signal" is a rather  paranoid-based and hasty presumption from a heavily indoctrinated and  overzealous cop, is typical of modern police "swarm" training, where  overzealousness is taught.
  
  Craig then passed his left hand under the stall divider into Karsnia’s  stall with his palms up and guided it along the divider toward the front of the  stall three times, the complaint said.
  
 Sounds strange alright, if accurate, but what was he really doing?  He also could have been setup, the only witness here is one very  desperate cop assigned to undercover toilet patrol.  One witness is typically insufficient, unless of course it is a cop, whose testimony is treated as if inerrant and the assumption that one would never falsify a report, or lie (or be bribed to).
  
 Establishment Neo-republicans Attack  Rather than Defend--Political Motive?
  
   
 Suddenly, Romney, who complained at the GOP Debate against "those  who think they are holier than thou because they were against abortion longer  than me", suddenly becomes, well, holier than thou!
  
   Mr Romney has linked Craig's conduct with former president Bill Clinton's  affair with a White House intern, as examples of public officials falling short  of standards expected of them.
 "Frankly it's disgusting," Mr Romney told CNBC.
 "He is no longer associated with my campaign [oh, we  see why now Mitt]... I am sorry to see that he has fallen  short."
 
 Question:  Is everyone convinced this is  not a snap-judgment, hasty, to separate from themselves a republican Senator on  very sketchy evidence, mostly laced with innuendo?  (Yes, the plea is what cost  the Senator, but it was a Catch-22, for it would have been public immediately).   IS THE SENATOR TRULY GUILTY, OR REAL, TANGIBLE, EVIDENTIAL PUBLIC INDECENCY, OR  ONLY A CHARGE OF SUCH, WHICH HE PLED UPON COERCION?  If it was you, and you knew  your innocence, how would you have reacted to the charge?
 IS HIS GUILT REALLY ON THE PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE, OR IS  THIS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED EXCOMMUNICATION?
  
  
 MUCH GREATER INDECENCY, AND IN PUBLIC, AND  IN THE MEDIA, IS OPENLY KNOWN, APPLAUDED, TALKED ABOUT, THAT GOES FAR BEYOND ALL  THIS, WHILE THE HYPOCRITES IN THE MEDIA (FOX is  hardly the bastion of moral decency) ARE SILENT.
   
 Is this really a serious charge?  Are they  really going to pursue a Senator for "foot tapping" and some admittedly unique  (but legal) movement (the explanation of which we have not heard) in a public  restroom?  WHAT!  Senators can vote to overthrow, or attempt to, the Constitution  through "legislation", but this is a major criminal act requiring immediate  removal from office?  WHAT HANNITY-INSANITY!!   But how the Democrats and "left"  love this story so they can dog pile!
  
 QUESTIONS TO ASK
  
 1. What is this to distract from?  The  talk of "recession" yesterday by the former treasury secretary (we covered it  here, and it is the BIG but quiet story)?  Or dare we forget Sen. Warner's  admonition for troop withdrawal?
  
     (always look at this first, and remember  Mel Gibson, John Karr, and Imus--all stories that were released  for the purpose of public titillation for other agendas).
2.  Will this serve another agenda?  a pretended clean-up of a "reformed" republican party, worthy of "trust" again?
  
 3. Who wants to get rid of this  Senator?  Why are Hannity and other republicans conspicuously jumping so  fast, without substantial evidence?  Why so eager to rush to judgment, instead  of typical defense?  (yes, sometimes a conspiracy is more rational than what is  reported, and it happens frequently, constantly, to control the course of  power).
  
         Hint:   Even though he is a faithful proclaimer of the neoconservative gospel, that "fundamental jihadists want to kill us all",  he opposes REAL  ID, (but not all IDs) and has said so publicly on this podcast  (linked)   
     (Would be interesting to get headcount on  number of Senator willing to rescind REAL ID, or another key issue--one vote  might make a difference).
  
 Anything that gets this kind of media play,  especially after 3 months of delay, IS SUSPICIOUS.  THIS IS  DESIGNED TO DOMINATE THE NEWS, LIKE THE JOHN KARR INCIDENT.   Something bigger is going on here....and deserves skeptical coverage and  more rational analysis.
  
  
 ZEAL WITHOUT EVIDENCE LEADS TO FANATICAL  REACTION
  
 But with the overzealousness of Hannity and  "establishment" neo-republicans (and "not holier than thou" Mormon and CFR insider  Willard Milton Romney)  soon we could hear the like in their typical propaganda  fashion, and from the "terrorism" merchandisers:
  
  "6/11 changed  everything!  Public restrooms need security!"
  
 "Office of Public Security"  needed.
  
 "FBI increases surveillance in  Congressional restrooms, produces watch list of "the indecent"  profiles".
  
 NSA watching for  "foot-tappers".
  
 "Local Government install cameras in public  restrooms; use Homeland Security Funding"
                 -- Mayor Danny Jones of Charleston  will jump right on this one!
  
   
 "Scannable IDs now required for public  restrooms".
...You know, it all sounds so familiar, from  the hyper-ventilating propaganda machine.
Maybe you will even see James Woolsey and William Kristol interviewed by FOX.
  
 CONCLUSION
  
 The public should be skeptical and  require a higher standard of jurisprudence than what is portrayed for propaganda  purposes through the political-controlled media.
  
 FOR NOW, USING A PUBLIC RESTROOM WILL  NEVER BE THE SAME, AND ALL "FOOT-TAPPERS" WILL BE EITHER LAUGHED AT OR  "SUSPICIOUS", DEPENDING ON THE MIND-SET OF THE ONE  "GAZING".
