I'll be more interested when a real newspaper writes about it. The NY Times has little credibility, IMHO.

Consider the source (New York Times) before you swallow the spin of what they "knew" or when they "knew" anything.

This smacks too much of a planned operation to me. Hearing about something is far removed from knowing that it's true. Don't be stampeded. There are NO facts in evidence that can be tested. No way to judge the motives or reliability of witnesses (if any).

Foley's guilt is not even proved at this time, only implied (strongly) by his own action in resigning and the second hand information being passed on, almost totally anonymously, by the ever reliable drive by media.  Why do we suddenly accept anything they say as gospel because it fits into a salacious pattern? 

I know this may bother some, but I have this nagging thing I call a principle, I actually believe in "innocent until proved guilty," particularly when dealing with accusations against Republicans in the New York Times.  I'm just cynical that way.
