Re: Pete in RS



Rolling Stone is giving credit where credit IS NOT due.  IWF has not issued
any such statement, they are as mum as ever on this matter. The statement on
their site, which Mark Stephens contradicted when he condemned Pete in
mulitple published remarks, has not changed since Jan. 13th.   Rolling Stone
simply paraphrased Matt's post on PT.Com.  Not that I don 't mind a little
positive spin from them, but if this is typical of how they do they're
reporting, then....

Good news for Pete Townshend. The U.K.'s Internet Watch Foundation has
confirmed that the Who guitarist - who was arrested on January 13th for
viewing child pornography online - did earlier report a number of child-porn
Web sites to the organization. The agency had initially denied that
Townshend had contacted it. This new finding supports the guitarist's claim
that he viewed the illegal material for research purposes. The axman could
be jailed for five years if convicted for accessing child pornography.
