		<description><![CDATA[From Washington Post
By Ruth Marcus
Soon-to-be-speaker Nancy Pelosi is fond of mentioning that she&#8217;s the mother of five, grandmother of six. The California Democrat should keep that in mind as she reviews the House ethics committee&#8217;s report on former representative Mark Foley and considers proposals for tougher ethics enforcement.

Editorial
What, one has to wonder, would it take for the House ethics committee to hold a lawmaker or a staff member accountable?
A special investigative subcommittee convened to examine responses to Mark Foley&#8217;s inappropriate contacts with congressional pages found &#8220;a significant number of instances where Members, officers or employees failed to exercise appropriate [...]]]></description>

By Gail Sheehy and Judy Bachrach
The half-open closet in which Mark Foley spent his life was a recipe for disaster, say those few who tried to intervene. Investigating Foley&#8217;s pre-teen seduction by a priest, the &#8220;ladies&#8217; man&#8221; mask he wore in Palm Beach society, and his love-hate relationship with the gay community, the [...]]]></description>

By Anne Plummer Flaherty

Withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq? Won&#8217;t work. Beef them up? We&#8217;re stretched too thin.
As President Bush, Congress and a special commission seek new approaches for the unpopular war, warnings from the top American commander in the Middle East make clear there is no simple answer.

In the latest sign of rank hypocrisy among social conservatives, the president of the 30-million member National Association of Evangelicals has resigned amidst accusations that he had a relationship with a male prostitute.

The Mark Foley scandal places in stark relief the moral hypocrisy that underscores the Bush administration&#8217;s attitude toward sexuality and power. Foley has rationalized his inappropriate (if not illegal) behavior with adolescent boys behind what some media pundits are calling a self-denier&#8217;s trifecta: being drunk, being sexually assaulted by a priest and [...]]]></description>
