5. Honestly, I'm not upset with it. I believe that any type of cover-up involved the

much tamer emails from Nov. 2005. The really sick stuff hit the fan Sept.28, 2006 and Foley was gone the next day. I think Hastert and his Chief of Staff, Scot Palmer, are lying about not recalling any conversations, calls, and meetings with those who claimed to have raised the issue of Foley in 2005. But with Foley being unavailable to them (rehab and due to lawyering up because of criminal investigations) and Rep. Kolbe retiring, etc., I'm not upset with what this subcommittee found.
They are critical and say some folks didn't react in a terribly serious manner and recommends that the page program be reviewed and that there be equal representation between the parties for its administration.
