When reading these instant messages, has anyone yet considered how the "kid" was responding to Foley and egged him on? Or does the (at that time) 16-year-old bear NO responsibility to what was going on? Did anyone force his fingers to move on the keyboard? NO? In the very few exchanges I have read (and I'm not excited to read any more, either), I don't see a whole lot of reticence by the "kid" in refusing to engage in these exchanges.

That Foley was wrong from the first get-go is a given. That he resigned immediately was a good thing. That the so-called "kid" was only a victim in all this begs some obvious questions, at least from me. Maybe someone can answer for me whether we now know from WHERE and WHAT SOURCE these exchanges - e-mails & text messages -originated and WHY were they held back for this length of time? (Duh..) The sad part about part of this is HOW it is being used by the opposition Party; NOT to do what is RIGHT, but rather, to DESTROY every Republican they can make this whole thing stick on. That's the truth, and the Dems can't stand the truth. They never will, either.
