It is looking like Bush is trying to protect Foley
From Americablog:

3. Taking the lead from House Republicans, Bush Administration refusing to investigate child sex predator, even though the FBI was given copies of the emails by CREW back in July.

At the Justice Department, an official said that there was no investigation under way but that the agency had “real interest” in examining the circumstances to see if any crimes were committed.

CREW gave the FBI the emails two months ago. The FBI isn't investigating, but says they're interested in seeing if any crime was committed, but don't plan to investigate. Uh, apparently not that much interest. Then again, it's only a child sex offender.

It's good to know that George Bush doesn't care about child sex predators even two days after the story becomes a national scandal. How would Bush feel if some 52 year old guy asked Jenna and Barbara, at the age of 16, if he made them feel horny, and then asked to describe how they masturbate? How is this any different than Denny Hastert, Shimkus and the rest of the House Republicans refusing to investigate Foley when they knew about this last year? It's not.

So now we not only have the Speaker of the House, the House Majority Leader, and the head of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee covering for Foley, but we have Bush himself. It is time for all of them including Bush to resign.

2. I found this one in the comments...works for me.
"Since the GOP is so pro torture and they know it works so well to get to the truth can't we just torture hastert,
boner and the rest? just until they confess. they say it works so who am i to argue?"

3. They may investigate CREW to find out who leaked this
to them. After all we are in a war and this apparently was a state secret.
