"Military porn" is footage of really cool military gear like tanks and A10 Warthogs and the p173 Self-correcting .50 calibre sniper bullet etc etc. I just read it for the articles.

"Approximately 23,000 military and civilian employees[3] and about 3,000 non-defense support personnel work in the Pentagon."

5200 out of about 26000...?? Not a chance I can believe that.

what does having a 'top security' clearance have to do with child porn?

The title is wrong. There were 5200 people on the list provided by the sting operation. Only a few hundred of those could be tied to the pentagon/DoD. 1% I can buy.

Hey, if you don't like them downloading child porn then just vote them out or get active in the system and change it. Oh wait.

I appreciate posts like this. Thank you bmacs.

Well, every single word of the title is inaccurate or misleading. It's mind boggling really. The title is taken directly from MoxNews' post, so I don't blame gwiz. But let me try to make a clear list of everything wrong with the title.

1. "5200" - That was the complete number of names/e-mail addresses swept up under ICE project flicker. This was not an investigation into the DoD, but they came across several e-mail addresses that obviously belonged to the DoD. The Pentagon's investigative branch (DCIS) was informed of this and for some reason they checked only 3500 of those names, and of those 3500 found 264 DoD employees.

2. "Pentagon Employees" - No, they were investigating Department of Defense Employees and Contractors, the Pentagon is only one small part of the DoD. The DoD includes Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, DARPA, DIA, NSA, ect. According to Wikipedia there were over 2 million DoD employees in 2009. Plus an unknown number of contractors who are not counted as employees. Coup mentions that Contractors were part of the DCIS investigation at 1:08. So if DCIS did cross check the names against all DoD employees and Contractors, we're talking about basically the entire US Military Industrial Complex. "Pentagon employees" might be 1% of that.

3. "PURCHASED Child Pornography!" - 264 are the number of suspects who were employees or contractors of the DoD. You cannot assume that every suspect is guilty until proven innocent. Coup mentioned that fewer than 20% of them were fully investigated (so less than 52 people). He goes on to say "fewer still were prosecuted", and doesn't mention the total number found guilty.

I agree it's an outrage that they stopped the investigation before looking at the entire list, or completely investigating all of the matches. And it's good to see CNN putting pressure on them to reopen the investigation. But this MoxNews fellow is either completely unscrupulous in spreading misinformation to get views, or just not very smart.

I'm the first part. Muahaha, bring me your views!

Having something like that in their background makes the person vulnerable to blackmail. Same reason we don't let people with lots of debt have clearances.

I think it's because they were removed from time and given special abilities then reintroduced into a single point in time, because it was determined they would save the future if they had those powers at that point in history. But I think there's a thousand more than their should be, so they must be evil child porners.

here's something really fucking disgusting

i'm too lazy and it makes me too sick to my stomach to go and dig up the actual wikileaks cable about it again, but wikipedia references it and you go find it yourself if you want to be sick

basically, a bacha bazi boy is a prepubscent boy who is dressed up like a lady and sold to wealthy men to dance for them and have sex with them.
dyncorp is a us company and military contractor who takes tax dollars and buys up a bunch of bacha bazi boys to entertain influential afghanis and police officers. barf on that for a while.
