Internet Sex

ABC is dribbling out its coverage of Foley a tidbit at a time. Today's headline is that he had "internet sex" while awaiting a House vote. I suppose that's supposed to be like Bill Clinton being serviced by Monica as he discussed matters of state, but we have the Blue Dress for that.

What I don't understand is how ABC authenticates these IMs. Wouldn't it be pretty easy to make up such an exchange?
