The FBI is joining the Bush administration's War on Porn. And it's looking for a few good agents. Early last month, the bureau's Washington Field Office began recruiting for a new anti-obscenity squad. Attached to the job posting was a July 29 Electronic Communication from FBI headquarters to all 56 field offices, describing the initiative as "one of the top priorities" of Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and, by extension, of "the Director." That would be FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III. Mischievous commentary began propagating around the water coolers at 601 Fourth St. NW and its satellites, where the FBI's second-largest field office concentrates on national security, high-technology crimes and public corruption. The new squad will divert eight agents, a supervisor and assorted support staff to gather evidence against "manufacturers and purveyors" of pornography -- not the kind exploiting children, but the kind that depicts, and is marketed to, consenting adults. "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.

The FBI is joining the Bush administration's War on Porn.

Now if only the Bush Administration would start a WAR ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!

What an utterly asinine crusade this is.

[Prime Choice]

Wasn't there just a porn actress that just ran for office out of California as a Republican?

Yeah. Mary Carey.

She wasn't that hot. She looked like she'd been rode hard and put away wet one too many times...

No agents for border security, but let's make sure perverts can't access Jenna Jameson.

No kidding. What a load of bullcrap this "war on porn" is. Last I saw, we weren't being invaded by pornographers. Sheesh!

war on porn when islam is threatening to kill us all, make our blood run in the streets? They are worrying about adult porn? geez

[vox humana]

Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales is one sick puppy. He is totally obsessed with putting ADULT pornographers out of business. Ashcroft was a silly prude (the great statue cover-up), but Gonzales has taken the anti-porn crusade to a new level.

My personal opinion is that Gonzales must have serious personal issues. He needs to get his priorities straight. Let the FBI agents do their job fighting terror and stop this obsession with porn.

We'll be seeing some pretty heavy busts before long.

Be careful what you wish for.

And as a bonus, they're fuzzy, too!

[skimask]

Does this count as porn?

[uglybiker]

They're not after 'adult porn' - they wouldn't find the required majority at the SCOTUS to pull that off. What they are seeking to put a quash on are videos of violence.. Forced rapes, beatings, bestiality, etc. Stuff that has long been considered 'obscene' by the courts (as well as the communities by which the standards are measured.)

If your local porn shop carried these products, they'd likely be shut down, but there are mail order outfits that thrive on these productions.

I'm rather libertarian when it comes to these types of things - if everyone was happy with their part in the production, then whatever. I've never been really into the nanny state mentality, but I can understand the argument that the largest consumer of these productions aren't husband and wives, but budding rapists and violent offenders who use these videos to muster the courage to do it to a real woman.

(The strict constructionist side of me thinks that this is a really good reason for a woman to be packing firepower along with whatever else goes into a purse.)

I understand what the government is seeking, I understand what the writer is trying to imply (ooh, look, they're gonna go bust people that make them blush), but if you found these tapes in someone's closet you wouldn't be having a quiet talk, you'd be looking for professional help for them.
