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.
