images of brutality in iraq ostensibly at the hands of westerners fuels additional mindless terrorist activity...

just the same as images of iraqi prisoners being abused in american captivity.

and this MINDLESS violence needs to be diffused.

the "obscenity" issue is simply the most expediant way to get this website closed and urge the operator towards a different hobby.

If the U.S. government is censoring the free speech rights of U.S. citizens because they are afraid of offending foreign terrorists, then haven't the terrorists already won?

Extremist muslims and extremist christians are both offended by nude human bodies. Both groups, through the years, have committed acts of "mindless violence" because of their belief that "porn" is evil. Should all porn be banned for fear of offending terrorists or should Americans fight for their constitutional rights?
