Are we talking about the "overly friendly" emails, or the graphic text messages?
Read the story. Graphic IM's. Kolbe saw them in 2000, and just told Foley to stop. He didn't tell the leadership. Kolbe has known for six years. He didn't tell Delay or Hastert at the time.
We have no idea because they were conveniently given to the media by the anonymous source with the condition that they not be reprinted so we have to rely on the media that characterizes the first known set of innocuous emails as 'sordid' to interpret these for us.
These are ones we hadn't heard about. The "overly friendly" ones we know about came from 2005, and the more graphic IMs were from 2003.
Here's an example: If someone wrote Marilyn Monroe saying: "Heard you have a great set of legs". Interpret that any way you want. "Uncomfortable" could be one of those choices.
Now add "Looking forward to see you again". JFK
