Let's Make This Real Clear

It's an open secret in Washington that Foley was too close to pages - republican pages were warned about him in 2003. In that context, somebody shows Hastert an e-mail from Foley to an underage male page asking for a picture and talking about another guy's great body. Hastert claims that the e-mails in and of themselves weren't alarming.

That's what they'd have us believe.
