Mysterious blog scooped media on Foley messages

....One of the more curious angles to emerge from the scandal surrounding Foley is the creation of a little-known Web site called Stop Sex Predators. It was at that site on September 24, four days before ABC News reported Foley's e-mails with a 16-year-old page, that the Florida congressman's correspondence first appeared....The site appeared in July, declaring that it was "dedicated to exposing sex predators before they can get to our kids."...Then on September 21, Stop Sex Predators says, it received e-mails from readers suggesting Foley was a "danger to any young, slightly attractive young man on The Hill."

Three days later, the e-mails from Foley to the 16-year-old page -- one of which requested a photo -- were posted on the site....

So how did a relatively new blog that saw little to no Web traffic before last week suddenly receive those e-mails? Bloggers are wondering the same thing, suggesting that the site was created by somebody in possession of the e-mails who wanted to shop them around....Though the site posted the e-mails before the ABC News report, the site does not appear to be that news organization's original source....

The owner of Stop Sex Predators responded to CNN inquires from an anonymous e-mail address posted on the Web site.

"My plans are to remain anonymous for the foreseeable future," the Web site's owner wrote in an e-mail. "I've been getting threats from folks and will no longer allow the posting of comments on the website. I can't believe the anger out there for exposing a hypocritical sex predator."...

blogs that wrote this crap. Hey CNN, the story is true, get over it.

Not into the GOP leadership, who've been covering for Foley, of course....

But into these BLOGGERS who BROKE THE STORY!

as it's now being played.

himself? The time that this blog was started is about the time that ABC got the info?

someone signed for the name

"I'm melting! I'm melting! What a world what a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my wonderful wickedness!"

here come the flying monkeys--or maybe they'll thank us for freeing them from the domination of these authoritarian perverts?
