Update on Phoenix Survivors

[Brian Cady <brianinatlanta2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

I notice that Phoenix Survivors at:
http://www.phoenixsurvivors.com/Welcomex.html
Now has a PeteTownshendIsInnocent.com link on their
front page.

On the down side, they have another button that reads
"Report Child Porn." Yeah, after what happened to
Pete, I'll be SURE to do that!

Meanwhile here's a letter posted by Alan McKendree I
found while doing my news trawl. It's at Infoshop.org.
Reposted with author's permission:

Better late than never.  But the "We regret we didn't
stand up for him before" rankles nonetheless.  Were
they the only actor on two continents that didn't get
a copy of Pete's essay A Different Bomb, was the staff
too overworked to read it, or did they just bin it?

And what do they mean by saying Pete "should have been
'less publicly cautioned'"??  As far as I know, a
caution is what it is, and once it's imposed, there's
no way it won't be publicized.

I've also got to say that it doesn't do much for my
confidence in Phoenix's attention to detail when the
author of the full statement on Pete refers to "the
entire gambit of unspeakable abuses" (should be
"gamut") and to "Roger Daltry";  the site tells people
to check the "Newsesk" (should be "Newsdesk") forum
for the full statement on Pete
(http://www.phoenixsurvivors.com/Newsdeskx.html), and
their home page
(http://www.phoenixsurvivors.com/Welcomex.html) says,
"we bare witness" (should be "bear", and considering
the subject matter the error is particularly
unfortunate).  The healthy helping of crow they're
eating now indicates their detail problems can extend
below the surface.  Credit to them for reversing their
stance but all they did was remove the additional
headache they created for Pete's defense team.
