Here’s a Good Use of Our Tax Dollars
The FBI is joining the Bush administration’s War on P*rn. 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.
…
The new squad will divert eight agents, a supervisor and assorted support staff to gather evidence against “manufacturers and purveyors” of p*rn*graphy — not the kind exploiting children, but the kind that depicts, and is marketed to, consenting adults.
I’m actually at a loss for words here.
