Prosecutors Scandal : Wanted to prosecute consenting adults instead of CP

Ward's endless stream of mandates, the source revealed, were a source of frustration to many US Attorneys. "There were countless child obscenity cases crying out to be prosecuted," the source told me, "but [Brent] Ward wanted to focus on cases involving consenting adults. That's just not a good way of dedicating resources. When you have so many children being harmed, why not allocate your resources towards that?"

Ward's heedless prosecutions of legally available pornography reflected more than his ideology; they also defined his power within the Justice Department. Once Bush began his second term in the White House, Gonzales declared the prosecution of pornography portraying sex acts between consenting adults "one of the top priorities" of his department. He signed off on an
FBI headquarters memo that recruited agents for an anti-porn task force. That memo stated that prosecutions would focus particularly on material depicting "bestiality, urination, defecation, as well as sadistic and masochistic behavior." These acts, according to the memo, were most likely to offend local juries.

yep the thought the right wants to get us was just in our minds lol

Couldnt agree more...if they´d concentrate on getting rid of the CP shit and nonconsentual stuff, it would all make alot more sense.

What is interesting here is that every last "anti porn" christian group always claims they do what they do to protect children, they market their ministries to evangelicals based on a lot of hysteria about "the safety and well being of children." But, this article says that the christian right was fully behind the focus of government prosecutions of consenting adults, and nothing else.

The christian right are a bunch of lying sacks of shit; but I guess I'm preaching to the choir on that one, here. :-D

This story should be required reading for all the Republicans on this board :thumbsup
