The lead story in this morning's Idaho Statesman swings the spotlight back to Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, with claims from five gay men who "say they had sex with Craig or that he made a sexual advance or that he paid them unusual attention."


The story includes accounts from five men, including one who insisted on anonymity because of concerns that "Craig will use his power to retaliate."


Dan Popkey, the reporter who earlier this year showed Craig's photo to men outside a toilet near the capitol, reports that he "found nothing to disprove the five new accounts."


Of course, that doesn't mean the accounts are accurate. "As with the Statesman's August report, the new evidence is not definitive. There are no videos, no love letters, no voice messages. Like last August, they are he-said, he-said allegations about a man seeking discreet sex from partners whom he counted on to never tell," the paper says.
