The FBI is joining the Bush Administration's "War on Porn." The intelligence agency has sent out a memo asking for agents to join the anti-porn squad. This time, they're targeting legal pornography that is marketed to adults, a tactic that hasn't been attempted with any strength since the days of Attorney General Ed Meese under President Reagan in the 1980s.

But [Attorney General Alberto] Gonzales endorses the rationale of predecessor Meese: that adult pornography is a threat to families and children. Christian conservatives, long skeptical of Gonzales, greeted the pornography initiative with what the Family Research Council called "a growing sense of confidence in our new attorney general."

Congress began funding the obscenity initiative in fiscal 2005 and specified that the FBI must devote 10 agents to adult pornography. The bureau decided to create a dedicated squad only in the Washington Field Office. "All other field offices may investigate obscenity cases pursuant to this initiative if resources are available," the directive from headquarters said. "Field offices should not, however, divert resources from higher priority matters, such as public corruption."


You'd think that maybe, just maybe, the government would have better things to do with its time, money, and investigative resources.

gonzales makes me sick. puke sad, repressed bastard. i didn't remember him getting too upset when he was presented those perverted photos taken in iraq. you know, woman with a naked man on a leash, woman being so proud in front of a pile of naked men.... oh, and a crucified man too. but oh, those were iraqi prisoners. who cares. better think of the threat posed to families by legal pornography.

i hate gonzales. he is even more perverted than herr bush.

Why would you create a porn initiative directed at ADULT porn? There are thousands of sick and disgusting individuals preying on children everyday in this country! If you're so concerned with porn go after the real sickos. We're just decent people with a healthy sense of our sexualities. Go get the real porn criminals!

Let's see, three more years to go. Hmm. The memo stated that they will start with defecation, bestiality and violent porn. It may take more than just three years of a sick Attorney General like Gonzales to shut down legitimate legal porn as we know it. Obscenity needs to be prosecuted one movie, or magazine at a time. Look at the Reagan Administration. They tried and look at how much fun we're having 10-15 years later.

Edited to say that this article comes as no surprise to me, this task force was announced several months ago.

The crusade against legal porn has the same argument as the war on drugs:

Pinup style magazines and websites (Hmmm...) only lead to more deviant things. Today, Playboy or SG, tomorrow prowling playgrounds for 8 year old boys.

Next theyll be trying to sue Judas Priest for putting satanic messages on their albums.

Or making comic book companies conform to a strict code of conduct in depictions of violence and gore.

Or killing women who don't cover their body in a burka.

I wrote about this on my blog today. There are some great quotes from the agents in this article.


"I guess this means we've won the war on terror," said one exasperated FBI agent, speaking on the condition of anonymity because poking fun at headquarters is not regarded as career-enhancing. "We must not need any more resources for espionage."

Among friends and trusted colleagues, an experienced national security analyst said, "it's a running joke for us."

A few of the printable samples:

"Things I Don't Want On My Résumé, Volume Four."

"I already gave at home."

"Honestly, most of the guys would have to recuse themselves."

"includes bestiality, urination, defecation, as well as sadistic and masochistic behavior."


Bestial-defecation is not on the list: feel free to pass around videos of your dog shiting in your neighbors yard.
Note that masochism is on the list, so videos of people voting for this douche bag administration are prohibited
