Get real! The Bush Admin are preoccupied with daily feedback on a war based on lies and covering their own asses on leaks, fraud allegations and plenty more shit.
CP and porn in general is a subject the Admin like to talk about in the hope they get some support within the electorate - along with proclaiming faith and all kinds of warped shit where there is hope this will appeal to the masses.
It was not by co-incidence that Gonzales made a statement on this particular police action today. Mr Gonzales is busy on other aspects of porn and making full use of the bangwagon to justify his case.
A government which has to be embarassed into giving up it's citizens for prosecution of child offenses committed in other nations is not a government interested in real child protection. The US DOJ is part of that government.
On the actual case resulting in at least 27 indivuduals being arrested - this was an operation covering several countries.
It is not an uncommon operation (despite the fact the govt felt the need to comment on it), and often is the result of individuals within law agencies who have been damned persistent and stayed on the case for, often years, before sucessfully building up an "association map" and acting.
Some of these law agency folks know exactly what CP means - seriously doubt most of us have a real clue. It extends to monitoring individuals suspected of child abduction and murder. There are guys walking on this planet who have had "associations" with children and those children are no longer with their parents at home, but suspected dead. The web of CP has no class boundaries - and can lead "anywhere", also crossing multiple jurisdictions.
Rather than give credit to a load of politicians, I'd rather give credit to the individuals in law agencies who actually kept on this case (and all the others), knowing the real meaning of CP and genuinely interested in the welfare of the minors involved. I know a couple of people who do this work, - and they are folks you could trust with your life if shit hit the fan - and little doubts, their prime interest is genuinely "the protection of children", not just as law folks, but as individuals.

Ironic!
The truth is laws already exist and they were implemented. 2257 (new) is just a plaything for politicians to claim successes on. The original version of 2257 has never been enforced to any degree - it's as impractical to enforce it fully as are the new proposals. All crap!
