What I don't understand about porn in general is how do they stay in business.
I think Forbes and Wired both did stories about the porn industry boom during the 90's internet buildout. Porn sites were among the first users demanding high-capacity servers, ultrawide bandwidth, streaming video, etc. and they were paying cash for it. A lot of the internet infrastructure got paid for by porn sellers (or their customers, if you prefer).

Porn is just a victimless crime. Nothing to worry about some perv watching children on the net. NO NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AT ALL...right Liberaltarians?

There are other problems beside 9/11. I would imagine there are several investigations going on as we speak that have no connection to 9/11.
As it should be.

I guess you were hoping that the 9/11 attacks meant a get-out-of-jail-free card for all other kinds of perps. Sorry, we still have to uphold the law elsewhere; its part of our attempt to keep our society from collapsing into anarchy, which was one of the goals the terrorists had hoped to accomplish.
BTW, 'entrapment' is a legal term that has been abused as much as 'terrorist' is going to be abused. An example of entrapment would be if an undercover agent got to know you and say, sold you a used PC. That night, agents break down your door and find thousands of kiddie-porn pix on that same PC. If people are voluntarily going to this site to download and exchange files, its not entrapment.

Morality creates responsibility.
Freedom without responsibility is anarchy.
Most people today think we live in a democracy. ITS A REPUBLIC!
They have no idea what being a citizen is really about.

"I find it hard to believe that in this time of crisis, when we are on yellow terror alert with god knows how many terrorist cells still operating here, that Ashcroft committed the resources and agents to this bust." Just because we are at war, doesn't mean people who break the law, shouldn't be arrested and punished. We are talking about children here. These are people’s babies. Have you any idea of what goes on behind closed doors, in order for these pictures to be taken? Do you know what these monsters do to children’s lives?
Do you know what sex addicts do with these pictures? Do you have any idea how long it takes for them to find porn boring after awhile, growing hungry to try the real thing? Frankly, I would be THRILLED if my neighbor was busted for looking at naked children. I have two children to raise, love and protect. I don't want to live next to a pervert; someone who gets off on looking at naked children. And I'm certain no one else does either.
I for one thank God we have someone leading our country right now, who is willing to go after perverts in order to protect our children.
You are minimizing the situation, thinking...it's not so bad. They aren't as evil as the terrorists, right??? WRONG! Evil is evil and every bit of it must be stopped, if we are able. Child pornography is EVIL and it’s against the LAW!! Period! End of discussion!

Hmmm?? From your tone, I assume you left off the "</ sarcasm>" notation????..............

The PBS Frontline episode "American Porn" said Ashcroft was preparing a frontal assault on the industry prior to 9-11. I wonder if this operation (begun 14 months ago) was the vanguard.

Morality creates responsibility.We know how they have been lowered over the years with the "If it feels good do it" crowd. Along with the lack of responsibility.
Freedom without responsibility is anarchy.
Or stone age survival. I thought we had advanced beyond that.

They won't get any idea what being a citizen is from our schools now days either. Our federal controlled schools just don't seem to be interested in that part of education anymore.

The number of horror stories coming out of Texas are inversely proportional to the number of horror stories out of Arkansas that were covered by the media during the Clinton years.

I don't see anywhere where bush was involved. Most of the horror stories coming out of Arkansas involved clinton.

The numbers here should not be surprising - from the time a certain past President took office there were VERY FEW porn arrests in this country - for 8 long years it was ignored.....the DOJ had more important things to do under a certain Ms. Reno....

I believe it involves up to 7,000 people world-wide. These 89 are the first indicted.

College Station is Republican; so is Katy. Palestine is mixed but leans Republican. I think Channelview is in the Ken Bentsen liberal district, but I am unsure.

I find it interesting how people who have dedicated themselves to Jesus and study the Bible as a profession, unlike people who work all day then study the Bible on occasion, have interpreted the Bible to accommodate child porn and homosexual child molestation (in the case of the recently uncovered priests). We all know that there is much more yet to be discovered about the involvement of clergy in this sick swill. I wonder how many non-Christians involve themselves in this scum bag activity?
To: constitutiongirl
A man from my town, Lake Charles, LA was also arrested - it made front page of the Lake Charles American Press. I'm sure he will have character witnesses testifying as to what an upstanding, taxpaying, good citizen, loving son, etc. he is. This makes me SICK!

Well, I just got back to south of Houston area after a week in New Orleans, and HOUSTON is TAME compared to New Orleans! Heck, we also have a home in Los Angeles and L A is pristine compared to New Orleans.
