Are You Ready for a Fight?

Submitted by Shal

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.

Terrorists are going to get the idea that the best way to terroize the US, is by helping the spread of porn. Soon, internet porn is going to start getting really kinky and abundant.

You'd think the government would learn from its past mistakes, this is starting to sound like prohibition all over again.

The drug war IS prohibition all over again...any law that outlaws anything just makes it more valuable to those who wish to obtain it and it onlt hurts regular law abiding citizens whilst the criminals still obtain what they want when they want it and the trafficing of said goods makes them money.



I was really referring to the issue of censorship in pornography, where mainstream morality becomes the judicial factor instead of common sense. The war on drugs is a whole other bag of snakes, in my mind.

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.


He probably still plays DnD and loves airplanes and the government like his mommy told him to.
