On Line Vandals rip State's Congressional Delegation in Encyclopedia

"A popular Internet encyclopedia has angered some members of West Virginia's congressional delegation whose entries contain wildly inaccurate information. Sen. Jay Rockefeller's profile on the Wikipedia online site claims that he could be subject to criminal prosecution because of his dealings with Middle Eastern countries in 2002. And recently, anyone skimming Sen. Robert C. Byrd's profile would have read that he was '180 years old,' although he's 88. This is the work of Wikipedia vandals, most likely congressional staffers with a political ax to grind, according to the Web site's spokespeople."
