Marion County Circuit Judge Hale Stancil, however, said the lack of prison time for LaFave under the plea deal "shocks the conscience of this court.''Assistant State Attorney Richard Ridgway, said: "The court may be willing to risk the well-being of the victims in this case in order to force it to trial.

I am not.'' The house arrest sentence for LaFave, who now suggests she suffers from bi-polar disorder, still stands, as does seven years' probation.

Among the more galling things about the LaFave case is how the national media - especially television - has treated it.

Her rape of this boy is continually referred to as "a relationship." She and her victim are often labeled "lovers" and the assaults themselves are called "interludes." Unbelievable.

Look for LaFave, who typically appears in public impeccably tailored with nary a hair out of place, to land the blockbuster book deal, talk show appearances and 30 grand a night addressing rooms full of gawkers.

O'Reilly got it right.

How the LaFave case was handled in the courts, and in the media, was obscene.

We join Bill in ruefully predicting more of the same.

In other developments, Syrian President Bashar Al Assad and Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora shook hands on the summit sidelines despite simmering tensions between the two neighbors.

Siniora, who is attending the summit despite the presence of his archrival, pro-Syrian President Emile Lahoud, told Assad that he wished to visit Damascus, a member of Siniora's delegation said.

Assad, whose relations with the new government in Lebanon have been strained over the assassination of Lebanon's former premier Rafiq Hariri in February last year, welcomed the idea.
