Mark Foley scandal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mark Foley scandal, which broke in late-September 2006, centers on 
soliciting e-mails and sexually explicit instant messages sent by Mark 
Foley, a Republican Congressman from Florida, to teenaged boys who had 
formerly served as congressional pages.[1][2] The scandal has grown to 
encompass the response of Republican congressional leaders to previous 
complaints about Foley's contacts with the pages and inconsistencies in 
the leaders' public statements.[3][4][5][6][7] There are also 
allegations that a second Republican Congressman, Jim Kolbe, had 
improper conduct with at least two youths, a 16-year old page and a 
recently graduated page.[8][9]
The scandal led to Foley's resignation from Congress on September 29, 
2006. It is believed to have contributed to the Republican Party's loss 
of control over Congress in the November 7, 2006 election, as well as 
the end of House Speaker Dennis Hastert's leadership of the House 
Republicans. Kirk Fordham, chief of staff to Rep. Tom Reynolds and 
former chief of staff for Foley, also resigned as a result of the 
scandal.
The questionable conversations, which took place between 
1995[10][11][12] and 2005, are under investigation by the FBI and 
Florida officials for possible criminal violations. The House Ethics 
Committee is investigating the response of the House Republican 
leadership and their staff to earlier warnings of Foley's conduct.[13] 
In early October 2006, two news organizations quoted anonymous former 
pages saying they had sexual liaisons with Foley after turning 18 and 
21.[14][15]
Foley was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited 
Children, which introduced legislation targeting sexual predators and 
created stricter guidelines for tracking them.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in 
England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after 
all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it 
is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a 
democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist 
dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to 
the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL 
THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of 
patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY 
COUNTRY."
