Rocket scientists they may be, but they surely rate low on the smart scale?

Five years? He deseves at least that...

For the sheer stupidity alone. Moral issues aside, downloading child porn is a dumb thing to do. Doing it without employing some hi-tech voodoo to cover your tracks is really dumb. Doing it on a work computer is really REALLY dumb. Doing it on a GOVERNMENT computer is just... well it's hard to put that kind of dumb into words.

either NASA employs complete idiots(my opinion), or people so smart that their whole brain is devoted to figuring out complex theories and formulas, leaving nothing to house the simple common sense that any script kiddie or mischievous internet brat knows .....

the bugger deserves to go to jail for being so bloody stupid....

Seems there is a marked lack of seasoned greeting in this section of STOOOPID.

If only we could rely on the President to pardon them.

He flies through the air waves with insouciant ease looking for children to slake his disease. He is ever so old and so easy to please and he's stolen their childhood away.

These pictures were taken to make money

He did not pay money for the paedo pictures. He did not use stolen credit card numbers to make others pay for paedo pictures. He did not buy products that contribute advertising revenue to paedo pictures. He did not install a paedo picture downloading trojan that turns Windows machines into zombies for use by botnet criminals.

I would give him 5 years for spending so much time looking at abusive pictures that he could not have had enough time to do any real work at his day job.The way to reduce the harm to young girls is to hunt the people who fund it, not the freetards.

To be a little bit stupid maybe? Sure you can put a rocket together and triangulate the distance between blah blah blah and blah blah blah but if you're not willing to hack a colleague to death whilst waring a nappy or download dodgy videos then quite frankly you're not right for us.
