House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) did not respond Friday night to a report by the Associated Press that GOP congressional leaders had been warned nearly a year ago by one of Foley's Republican colleagues about potential questions concerning his behavior.
But Hastert was visibly uncomfortable discussing Foley at a news conference Friday afternoon that he had called to trumpet congressional passage of rules for questioning and prosecuting suspected terrorists.
"None of us are very happy," he said when asked about the Floridian.
I don't trust any TIME associated with all these reports; it's all over the place. I can live with Alexander's November 2005, since he seems to be the one who instigated it.
I wonder how the St. Petersburg Times found out.
I wonder how much or how little Danny knew, before today, that is.
