Whoever had these IMs in '03 was "smart enough" NOT to release them for the '04 election (as Foley wasn't up for reelection *THAT* year), but rather knew to alert the media (just) prior to his '06 reelection (for maximum effect).

That is really weird, why would someone WAIT to turn him in, and allow children to be in danger?

He's a member of the House, right? They're up for reelection every two years.

You do know that Representatives of Congress are up for election every two years, don'tcha? Foley was first elected in 1994 and has been re-elected every two years since.

He's in the House and is up for re-election every election cycle.

Well if they are from '03 someone thought enough to keep the archives but Foley *WAS* up for election back in 2004 (all House members are reelected every 2 yrs) which makes this all that much more peculiar. If they truly thought there was a sexual predator in congress, keeping it hidden for 3 years is more than a little bit irresponsible.
