You are right. Especially since the boy's parents did not want any action taken besides making sure Foley stopped contacting their son. The emails do not contain any criminal content. Yeah they are creepy, but can you imagine trying to get a DA to act on such flimsy evidence? Or a trial court trying to reach a verdict based on them? I can. Case dismissed. Thanks for your time.
As for the IMs. The only persons who should resign are the person who wrote the IM's( Foley) and anyone who knew about the IM's and withheld that knowledge ( seems Hastert is not in that group). I doubt many in Congress had prior knowledge of the IMs. They were sent from Foley's private AOL account and would not have been subject to any kind of monitoring.
Not defending Foley, but it does look like the release of the Email content and the IM's at this time is just a wee bit too convenient. Also too convenient is the press's inability to make the distinction between the Email and the IM's. But that couldn't be deliberate? Could it?
