Per the Washington Post:

Hastert had hoped to announce the bipartisan appointment of former FBI director Louis J. Freeh to look into ways to improve the page program, in which teenagers live in a Capitol Hill dorm and attend a special school. But when he called Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) early in the afternoon, she declined to go along with the plan.

This seems clueless to me. The page program is not the problem in this scandal. It’s what Foley did and what Republicans did or did not do to stop him. That’s what they should have been asking Freeh, or some other respected outsider, to investigate.
