OY! This interview was tonight on CNN:
BLITZER: Because one of the things, as you know, that were said is that you had some sexually explicit Web sites that you were working on. I don't understand what that is, but maybe you could explain that.
GANNON: Well, several years ago, before I came to Washington, I had registered various domain names for a private client. I was doing Web site development. Those sites were never hosted. There's -- nothing ever went up on them. And the client went on to do something else.
There's been so much about me on the Internet that people have, you know, made assumptions about. And I just can't -- I don't even know them all and I can't address them all here.

Thanks for the info, it does seem the "porn link" was blown out of proportion! We're still left with why he resigned so suddenly with Talon news though because now we know:
1. Of course he was vetted thoroughly by the SS, to get his daily WH press pass. There's no way he wasn't. And so what about a pen name? How is that a big deal?
2. The websites he was involved with were apparently not even developed, so I GUESS it's possible that he may have been somewhat embarassed by them, but I don't see why since that was probably even before he got saved. Even if after, it appears he was only involved with them in an indirect manner. (although, given what he said about confessing his sins to God, in answering that question (about the sites), I think he probably worked on them before he became a Christian).
3. Apparently he's gotten some phone calls threatening his family (I read that somewhere, not sure if it's true, but lets say it is). If that's the case, I don't see why that would stop a determined reporter such as he, since he could write about such experiences, further castigating the left with such tales. IOW, I can't imagine a man as apparently tough as he folding under such pressure.
The more he remains silent on the issue, the more it's just mysterious as heck. Of course he doesn't HAVE to explain any of his actions to anyone, but after enjoying his articles myself, along with many others I'm sure, we'd all kinda like to know. I think it's a fair question to at least ask.
