Two Thoughts:
1) If Democrats didn't know about Mark Foley, then it follows that a Republican leaked his story. Who? My bet is on George "Durh, what's Muh-ka-kah mean?" Allen. Think about it: you sure haven't heard any more about his racist past now that the heat's on Foley.
2) So the mafia "could provide cash and explosives to terrorists." "Could" is the operative word in that direct quote whose implications we're not supposed to consider. First of all, the mob hasn't done it yet, and asking if the mafia would begs the question as to what they would get out of it. But tying the mob to terror sure opens the door for the government to use all those breach of civil liberties measures in the patriot act against its own citizens. How long until you are tied to terrorist activities?
That will be all.
ETA: Now with bonus political cartoon!
