If it turns out some Dems were sitting on this story then that would be a bigger scandal, if the "news" media bother to report it. I have a feeling then suddenly the story will die out.
In any case, aren't the Dems always saying we have to protect "the children??" They sure didn't do that if they kept this under wraps for political purposes. Who knows how many more young people could have been victimized in that time. I'm not saying that it happened, but it could have. Then who would be to blame?
I think the kid sat on it for awhile, and probably sold it. Otherwise, why didn't it come up in the '04 election? Something happened between 11/04 and now to change his mind about releasing the IMs. Is it because he reached adulthood and is able to sell them?
