I'm so sick and tired of the media not distinguishing from the admittedly creepy and wierd but NOT sexual <strong>emails</strong> that Foley sent pages and that the leadership knew about and did something about and the sick twisted and evil <strong>Instant Messages</strong> that they found out about last week. Doesn't the AP have at least one person who knows the difference? Hastert didn't know about the im's - how could he? They disappear into the ether when you log off, unlike emails which last forever. To save an IM actually takes a little effort (or so I remember - I haven't IM'd in forever - I go old school and use the "phone"). Which begs the question - who had these, and why haven't they released them before now. Shouldn't a predator like Foley been removed immediately by whoever had these and not when it was politically best for the Democrats?RightMakesRighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17769169401466143855noreply@blogger.com
