[Vision2020] Craig's official statement

[Joe Campbell]

Roger,

That Craig merely touched someone else's foot seems to go against the 
information in the police report that Tom posted, as well as information on the 
CNN website found here:

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/08/28/craig.arrest/index.html

Tell me, why would they charge Craig for "lewd conduct" if all he did was 
touch another man's foot with his own foot? Why would Craig -- someone with 
a law degree -- plead guilty if this is all that happened? It doesn't add up.

Notice that on the CNN website it says: "A police officer who arrested him 
June 11 said Craig peered through a crack in a restroom stall door for two 
minutes and made gestures suggesting to the officer he wanted to engage in 
'lewd conduct.' ... 'Craig would look down at his hands, "fidget" with his 
fingers, and then look through the crack into my stall again,' Karsnia wrote in 
documents accompanying the arrest report."

Tell me, do you give Michael Vick the benefit of the doubt? Do you say, "Well, 
he just plead guilty in order to save himself some trouble. That doesn't mean 
he is guilty of any crime." Or do you take his case for what it is, i.e., a 
genuine admission of guilt. And if you treat Vick differently, why?

No I have not followed every vote by every Congressman. I think people tend to look at ssues that they are the most interested in. In regard to the charge against Craig- I don't thing that touching someone's foot is anything to get too excited over. However if had had been me and there wasn't any tissue in the stall, I would have simply said "Can you hand me some toilet paper"
