I really feel for Senetor Craig and his family at this time. This is just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Of course our sensational hungry media will convict and try a man a the drop of a hat. Something just isn't right with our country. We are supposed to be a country that lives by the rulesof innocent until proven guilty. However we try people in the media and then let have the honor of proven their innocense.
After looking at the video and the transript of the police report you can not in all honesty say this man was soliciting sex. To me it was entrapment and the Senators words were twisted.
Below is the statement the Senator's children made on Good Morning America. Our prayer is the family will be comforted in this hour and if innocent then Senator craig be vindicated.
BOISE, Idaho - Two of Sen. Larry Craig's children said Tuesday they questioned him explicitly about "what exactly happened in that bathroom" where he was arrested in a sex sting and believe his assertions that he isn't gay.

Michael Craig said they asked their father about the June 11 incident at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, which led to the Idaho Republican's resignation last week after it became public, because "we were shocked" at media accounts of the incident, he said.
Craig, 62, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct following his arrest. The arresting officer said in his report that the restroom where he encountered Craig is a known location for homosexual activity.
In an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," Michael Craig said his father was simply "a victim of circumstance" and "in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"We've known him our whole life. He has been so trustworthy to us, so honest to us, that we believe him," Michael Craig said.
