This is a very interesting development. The leftists at ABC will probably try to insinuate now that there were other pages besides this guy, but he seems to be linked to the worst of the IM messages & is probably the same person for several of them.

For example consider the following similarities:

- According to the PassionateAmerica blog post there's a my-space profile of Edmund that lists his interests as ballroom dancing. The redacted name in the first IM that ABC released (http://abcnews.go.com/images/WNT/02-02-03b.pdf) told Foley several times that he had been taking waltz lessons.

- Another ABC IM had a message where Foley was talking about meeting up with the redacted name in San Diego. The my-space screen cap on the blog says his hometown is San Diego.

It's a guess, but this suggests that all of ABC's IM's are from the same source, and it's this Edmund figure. ABC and the MSM have been intentionally vague about exactly how many different interns the messages come from. They all seem to show signs that it was this guy.

If that's the case the implication is significant, since he was 18 at the time - no longer the underage minor that ABC has been claiming. The messages are downright disgusting and Foley is still a freak, but that changes the nature of the scandal big time.

He wasn't 18 at the time every message was sent.

ABC's reporting has been sloppy to say the least. I don't doubt that the former page named by Passionate America sent most, if not all of the IMs featured on ABC's website. Their reporting should be clearer.

And some the leftists on the Internet are already doing just that. (Once again, conflating who sent the e-mails with who sent the IMs.)
