"No Graphic Photos Found in Foley E-Mails"

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - U.S. House officials, in rebuffing efforts by Florida investigators to access former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley's congressional computers, said they found no sexually explicit photos in e-mails they reviewed, according to a letter obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.

The July 24 letter by House Deputy General Counsel Kerry Kircher was a response to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's request for information, though the FDLE is interested in more than whether Foley sent or received e-mails with inappropriate images.

Foley, a Florida Republican, resigned from Congress on Sept. 29 after being confronted with the computer messages he sent to male teenage pages who had worked on Capitol Hill. The FDLE said this week its investigation into whether Foley tried to seduce underage boys has been hindered because neither Foley nor the House will let its investigators examine his congressional computers.

The House Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, which provides computer support for congressional members, has reviewed some of Foley's e-mail traffic before his Sept. 29 resignation, according to Kircher's letter to the FDLE.

1. So every pedophile has to have graphic images on their PC's?

Pretty weak defense if that is all they have.

2. Um, "graphic pictures" aren't the point here.

The point is, did Foley manipulate young boys for sexual purposes?

You don't need pictures for that.

5. Is this coverup/reframing being led by Democrats or Republicans?
