longnshort, that's what they say Well, you never know, something that most people consider sex may come out eventually, but from what is out now, it is a bit slim for a full fledged scandal. Of course the House leadership could have restricted his access to pages, stripped him of the committee roles, urged him to resign, and possibly should have introduced some kind of censure measure, but it gets into sensitive area of involving minors as witnesses, possibly involuntarily. The House leadership can't really fire him, since he is a member. A possibility could have been sexual harassment charge, but those thing can't be done by the House leadership (AFAIK), unless one of the pages makes the charge voluntarily. The bottom line seems to me that the GOP leadership should have restricted contact between Foley and the pages to maximum extend feasible. Failing to do that seems to be the strongest charge vs. the Hastert. Anyway, I am just speculating outloud... Joe
