The FBI is forming an anti-porn squad, drawing just eight agents and support staff away from other duties, and to the
WashPost it's all a great joke.
"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."
Among friends and trusted colleagues, an experienced national security analyst said, "it's a running joke for us."
A few of the printable samples:
"Things I Don't Want On My Résumé, Volume Four."
"I already gave at home."
"Honestly, most of the guys would have to recuse themselves."
Honestly, to borrow a phrase, does anyone think another eight FBI agents would have saved us from 9/11? Please.
WaPo loves this story because it pokes fun at the straight-laced nature of the Bush Administration ... and most of our Christian country ... and lets them look suave and sophisticated.
But pornography should be fought. Not just for the reasons AttyGen Gonzales recently enumerated -- its destruction of families -- but also because it abuses vulnerable women, spreads disease, is a major criminal enterprise, and is used to launder drug money.
Even if you fancy looking at 18 year old girls with a history of sexual abuse as they wrestle on camera with their demons by destroying their self image and possibly their lives, even if you feel strongly this is your right, you have to accept the fact that the business structure behind your jollies is immoral -- not necessarily grounds for FBI investigation -- and often criminal. And that's grounds.
If you doubt this, just read the Leftyblogs (here, here, here). They hide behind the First Amendment and their dislike of Christianity, but you can't read them without thinking that they're turning their backs on some truly bad guys in the name of that most sought-after god, hipness.
