The State may say my 16 year old is an "adult" but I don't as a parent.

I'd be curious what else is on Foley's hard drive. He's a congressional Michael Jackson IMHO, and using some of the similar ploys of "self-defense".

I agree. But there is the legal and there is the moral or ethical. They are not always the same. In this case, the age factor goes along way in determining any legal charges. Foley may legally be within the law. That still doesn't make it right. Further, his being Chairman of the committee about exploited children makes the ethical implications even worse.

Now, apparently, at least 3 other ranking (not junior) House members knew, and 2 of those were the House leadership. That makes them no less culpable than Foley.

Ahhhhhh!

Maybe that is part of the reason Hastert threw such a hissy-fit when the FBI searched Jefferson's office/computers. Hastert may have been afraid other infestigations (funny typo, so I left it) my have resulted.
