Sources: Inquiry opened over Kolbe, male ex-pages

POSTED: 7:12 a.m. EDT, October 14, 2006

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. attorney in Arizona has begun a preliminary inquiry into a 1996 camping trip that included Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Arizona, and two male former congressional pages, according to two federal law enforcement officials who are familiar with the issue.

The officials said the initial assessment stems from a single allegation regarding Kolbe's behavior on the trip.

"This inquiry has just recently begun, and it is much too early to know whether there is anything there," said one official with knowledge of the matter.

One person who was on the 1996 trip told CNN he felt Kolbe was overly friendly with one of the former pages. He said there was "hugging." But the source said he saw no sexual activity and also noted that everyone slept nearby and in the open because of the extreme heat. He told CNN he would be talking with the FBI on Friday.

1. OMG!!! There was hugging!!!!!!!!!

Someone call the 'Ministry of Virtue and Vice."
A man who is homosexual hugged a teen boy.
Obviously, it was totally sexual in nature.
It has to be, because that's what the American Taliban say.
