**Pentagon child porn:** More than 250 Pentagon employees and contractors, including some with high-level security clearances, have viewed and purchased child pornography, sometimes with government computers, the Defense Department said this week. Yet only a handful of offenders have been prosecuted. The pornography use was discovered in the course of a 2006 federal investigation, which found that 264 Defense Department staffers and contractors, including nine with access to the nation’s most sensitive secrets, purchased child pornography online. The Defense Criminal Investigative Service investigated only 52 suspects, filing charges against 10 of them. DCIS says it lacked the resources to pursue additional cases.

My response: Hearing about this event taking place is repulsive and mind-blowing. The Pentagon employees and contractors that purchased the pornography should be embarrassed, disgusted and ashamed of themselves. Not only that the people who took on this event is idiotic, but should have thought twice and realized that there job was on the line. I feel like that people that purchased the pornography should not be prosecuted even though thats the law but they should be fined. This is a crucial investigation but everyone deserves a second chance. If this case was discovered in 2006 then they should have took care of this situation in 2006 and not 4 years later. The Defense Criminal Investigation Service charged 10 out of 273 that were involved in the case when they should of charged everyone because that is not fair to the others that were charged.

This situation of child begging is sad, like I don't understand how people can just abuse a child they don't return with enough money. To begin with how can someone deal with themselves whipping a child and force them to work so little for a living. I feel that if I were the president I wouldn't ban child beggars because thats how they basically make there money for a living. At the same time, it's like these children get paid minimum less than wage and have to work there butts off. This situation is just messed up in all different ways I don't know how to describe it but if I were in the chidren's position I would refuse to work, just because there is pressure to do as "the master" says and that you have to struggle everyday. I have nothing else to say but that iI'm speechless just because this is pretty nauseating.

 * End to child begging:**

In the article it says that "Lewis' IQ was 72-just two points above that standard cutoff for the mentally ill, who can not be executed." Regardless Teresa's IQ is two points above the cutoff clearly there was something wrong with her. Someone just doesn't go on a rampage and kill there husband and stepson for a 250,000 insurance policy. It is a shame someone is just that greedy for money, the thing I don't understand is that how her co-conspirators were sentenced to life but she died by the legal death injection. Another thing is the person who was her so called friend is inane for saying that Lewis was easily manipulated. What friend says that? In this situation if I were the judge; I would of gave her co-conspirators the lethal injection and sent Theresa Lewis to see phycologist and sentenced her to 5 years in prison because obviously there was something wrong with her up in the head. Also, she could not receive the life insurance policy

 * P= You did a great job of giving us the details of the story before going into your reaction.**
 * C= Watch your run on sentences. Once your thought is done move on to another sentence. You would do yourself well to read your paragraph out loud to find any confusing verb tenses or awkward phrases.**
