UPDATE
Tom McGuire, doing what he does best, lays out what we know about this website and has some more information on how the former page’s emails migrated from SSP to the mainstream press:
The River City Mud Bugle has even more backstory:
Two hours later [following the first posting of the former page’s emails], someone writing under the name “WHInternNow” published a diary on Daily Kos linking to Stop Sex Predators. The diary was met with skepticism from Daily Kos users, and received only a few largely critical comments. “This diary makes an accusation,” one commenter wrote, “a serious accusation, but provides no evidence to back it up.”
In a previous Daily Kos diary about Foley, “WHInternNow” made an early attempt to draw attention to Foley’s peccadilloes.
So the Kos Kids acted pretty responsibily under the circumstances for which they should be praised.
Come to think of it…if the Kos Kommunity wasn’t buying Foley as internet stalker, maybe you liberals out there would like to explain to me why the GOP leadership should have been more skeptical about Foley than their most rabid opponents?

You should see a couple of FR mails from n00bs I have received.
If Kos is careful and CREW boldly goes to the FBI with a BS story (assuming their original claim was to the salicious instant messages), all that proves is that George is schizophrenic.
