We — as in the US Government — are responsible for Pete Townsend’s arrest. He was a part of “Operation Avalanche,” a major Dallas-based internet kiddie porn take down the DOJ announced in August of 2001. The credit card numbers which couldn’t be traced to U.S. card holders were given to Interpol and that’s how

they tracked down Townsend. I still hope he’s innocent, but it doesn’t look good.
