FBI's new War on Porn -- vagina, not Osama, is greater threat
US Attorney General Gonzales launches the Bush administration's latest antismut assault, and is recruiting agents for a new FBI "porn squad".
Eight agents, a supervisor and support staff will be responsible for gathering evidence on "manufacturers and purveyors" of porn -- not "child porn," we're talking about the kind that features consenting adults, and is purchased by consenting adults.

Snip from WaPo article:

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...
"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."

Sure people are starving on the streets of American but at least they won't go blind.

There are places I remember all my life, though some have changed. Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead, some are living. In my life, I've loved them all.

What gave you that impression?
