WASHINGTON - Speaker Dennis Hastert's political support showed signs of cracking on Wednesday as Republicans fled the fallout from an election-year scandal spawned by steamy computer messages from disgraced Rep. Mark Foley to teenage male pages. At the same time, the congressional aide who last week counseled Foley to quit said in an Associated Press interview he first warned Hastert's aides more than three years ago about Foley's worrisome conduct toward pages.
Is it worse to be made aware of risks to young people and say nothing, or to be the perpetrator of abuse?
Watching Foley's speech in Congress 6 minutes after sending a "lurid" email does not show him to be under the influence of alcohol as his lawyer claims!

Both are ugly. The perp. and the abettor. And those who set on this for three years should be included in this bunch. The people that knew about the explicit IMs and said nothing should also be held responsible and all of them should be punished for it.

It's worst to be in a senior position and remain silent, until it can be used as a political weapon! Hypocrites

Both are pretty bad, it is like saying which is the best way to die.
