Blogging Ethics

This is a good post about a blogger's naming one of Foley's prey:

Breaking news: There was a sex scandal in Washington DC this week!

I agree with this post. The boy should not have been named and the A-list bloggers who picked up on it and made sure his name was spread all over the world were wrong too.

As to the counterpoint link posted, no I am not jealous. Anyone with rudimentary internets skills could have found that info. We just didn't want to. We knew it didn't advance the story and it wasn't right.
