Watchdogs play key role
October 4, 2006
By LISA HOFFMAN
Lobbyist Jack Abramoff, former House Majority Leader Tom Delay,
ex-White House chief of staff Karl Rove, and now, Mark Foley, the
Florida congressman who resigned Friday as a seamy sex scandal broke
around him.
What these controversial public figures have in common is that they
all have found themselves in the bull's-eye of Citizens for
Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, legal advocates leading the
charge from the liberal side of the spectrum against government
officials who, in their view, do wrong.
Known as CREW, the 13-person non-profit has staked a spot in the front
row of the Foley affair from the time it became public last week, when
sexually suggestive and explicit Internet conversations between Foley
and teenage boys burst forth.
