Who dropped the dime on Foley?

[Skidmore]

The young man? His parents? A fed up Republican? Someone in the administration following through on a threat?

1. I hope it was Larry Flynt

14. Peculiar timing isnt it

kinda kicks the suspension of the Constitution off the news....

[Deja Q]

2. The guys who knew about it for a year?

:evilgrin:

Best of all, I heard them say that on local FOX news channel a few minutes ago!

[malaise]

3. Who will drop the $100,000 on

Reynolds. Call WJ.

4. Could it be the NSA?

IM's and e-mails, eh? Sounds like someone over at "No Such Agency" to me.

5. Apparently the St Pete Times knew about it since last year

September 29 2006

<snip>

In other e-mails, Foley wrote, ``I am back in Florida now...its nice here...been raining today...it sounds like you will have some fun over the next few weeks...how old are you now?'' and ``how are you weathering the hurricane...are you safe...send me an email pic of you as well.''

What the boy wrote to Foley, who is single, wasn't available. The e-mails were sent from Foley's personal account, which Foley spokesman Jason Kello says he uses to communicate with many people, including Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Efforts to reach the boy were unsuccessful, but he told the St. Petersburg Times last November, "I thought it was very inappropriate. After the one about the picture, I decided to stop e-mailing him back." The Times didn't publish the comments until Friday.

Nice of them to sit on the story until now.

6. St. Pete Times is one of the most pro-active newspapers in Florida.

Maybe they did print something, but nobody listened? They had a free search engine for their archives the last I looked. I'll drop in later this afternoon if this thread gets legs.

7. I started digging around in there this AM

there are some nuggets to be mined for sure.

The SPT has issued a statement regarding this report. Someone posted the link on another thread in GD.

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. Yeah, I saw that editorial on that thread.

It is interesting. Makes you wonder just how those other e-mails shook loose. Who got them when and when did they refer them to ABC?

[DoYouEverWonder]

13. It's also proof

that the SPT knows the identity of at least one of the pages.

9. Someone who hoped it would overshadow the Woodward book

Foley was expendable. Like anyone who Bush has used up and no longer finds useful.

[lonestarnot]

10. The parents call the page supervisor. The supervisor went to

Hassert, and he told Foley to stop that you naughty boy.

[Renew Deal]

11. That's what I want to know.

It now seems like this story was out in DC. But who spilled the beans. :shrug:

[TlalocW]

12. I don't think there was much

Dropping of dimes or anything else around Foley. Bum-dum-ksssh! Thank you. I'll be here all week.

Couldn't resist.
