Misc. Ramblings

Having won the wars against terrorism, organized crime, and drugs, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is creating a unit for fighting materials targeted to consenting adults. Yes, that's right, a new war on adult images. The FBI will be jurisdiction shopping to find backwards areas that find pictures of consenting adults doing what they want illegal. I'm sure they'll find a few such areas but I think this effort will go the way of all earlier ones. That is, it will sputter and go limp.

I guess I shouldn't take the FBI to task since it was the, hawk spit, Republican Congress that required the FBI to do so. But you have to wonder about a Congress concerned more about what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes than hunting down terrorists. In any case, see the story here.
