NPR is reporting this morning that Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) called for an FBI investigation of Mark Foley
last July 21.
Yesterday, CREW called on the Department of Justice Inspector General's office to investigate why the FBI did nothing.
"As a former prosecutor who handled sex crimes in the District of Columbia, the emails set off alarm bells. Grown men simply do not send emails requesting photographs to teenagers over whom they have had some degree of authority," Melanie Sloan, executive director of CREW wrote [yesterday].

Sloan continued, "The American public deserves to know not just how and why members of Congress failed to take action to protect the youngsters entrusted to the care of the House of Representatives, but also why the FBI -- an agency charged with protecting the public -- failed to safeguard other youngsters from a potential sexual predator."
