Prank gone wrong........... I tend to doubt that.
I agree ...
As a public service, I will translate Drudge's info.
"I set Foley up by egging him into cyber-sex while I recorded it all and passed it around to people I knew would use it for a political dirty trick. Now that the FBI is involved they will see all the IMs, not just the ones i cherry-picked for release, and will see I am the one who initiated it, so my lawyer advised me to use the "prank gone wrong" excuse."
IMHO
