Thanks, for the compliment, YCHTT. I didn't "find" it though. DTEU found the SPIEGEL article, I just translated it.

Let me start by emphasising Aardvark's point; a statement that we cannot know the full truth of the matter without access to the original documents is not an endorsement of paedophilia. It's, at most, a request that we do not indulge in witch-hunts.

I wasn't proposing any conspiracy theories; my reaction to LifeSiteNews is that of someone heartily sick of those who spin stories to suit their own agenda. Whether main-stream media, government-backed, lobbyist-endorsed or fuelled by personal crusade, spin is still, IMHO, a form of lying to the public to get your own way.

The "original report" may or may not have been written by somebody with access to the booklets in question. I choose to suspend judgement on that until such time as I see the original booklets (something I am aware is unlikely to happen). I would suggest that the only way any of us will determine what exactly was in those booklets would be to find them and get them independently translated.
