Page's identity temporarily unveiled
From CNN Internet Correspondent Abbi Tatton
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- ABC News said Thursday one instant message transcript between former Rep. Mark Foley, R-Florida, and a former congressional page that was posted on their Web site Friday "had not been properly redacted" - leading to the IM screen name of the former page to be visible for a short time. While the transcript has since been corrected, one little-known conservative blogger was able to access the un-redacted version and use the screen name to uncover the young man's identity. That blogger subsequently posted the former page's name, online profile and photo on his Web site -- a move some prominent bloggers today labeled irresponsible. |
