WASHINGTON -- Lam Nguyen's job is to sit for hours in a chilly, quiet room devoid of any color but gray and look at pornography. This job, which Nguyen does earnestly from 9 to 5, surrounded by a half-dozen other "computer forensic specialists" like him, has become the focal point of the Justice Department's operation to rid the world of porn.

In this field office in Washington, 32 prosecutors, investigators and a handful of FBI agents are spending millions of dollars to bring anti-obscenity cases to courthouses across the country for the first time in 10 years. Nothing is off limits, they warn, even soft-core cable programs such as HBO's long-running Real Sex or the adult movies widely offered in rooms of major hotel chains.

Department officials say they will send "ripples" through an industry that has proliferated on the Internet and grown into an estimated $10 billion-a-year colossus profiting Fortune 500 corporations such as Comcast, which offers hard-core movies on a pay-per-view channel.

The Justice Department recently hired Bruce Taylor, who was instrumental in a handful of convictions obtained over the past year and unsuccessfully represented the state in a 1981 case, Larry Flynt vs. Ohio...

3. lol

Trust me, I worked at an adult store. After a little while you get desensitized.

4. I wish they would explain why...

it is ok to show all the violence that is shown for profit, but the sight of a nipple will end the world.. If you added the total times j.j's nip was shown on the news vs. the two seconds during the football game, it is obscenely idiotic.

5. Looking for porn?

They may actually succeed at something.

7. You know they'll be impartial

Gay porno will be burned or buried under concrete. Lesbian porno, on the other hand, will be confiscated for extensive review by DoJ.

[PragMantisT]

15. Gay porn will be verified by Drudge

And lesian porn will be forwarded to Cheney's daughter, Newt's sister and ann coulter

Free Tommy Chong!

13. And Ashcroft HAS To Personally Vet Every Piece of Evidence

alone, in his office, for hours at a time. Boy is he dedicated!

[izzie]

14. We will be back to Fr to pick up dirty or ban books.

But will the Fr let us in? War on Porn! Who stated that and it must be Ashcroft.

[JimT]

16. is it November yet?

I remember seeing a Frontline special more than a year or so ago about the porn industry. Ashcroft wanted to make it a priority of the DoJ to start going after porn makers, but then Sept. 11 happened, putting those plans on the backburner. I tell you this a*hole is more worried about breasts than bombs. Freaking ridiculous! No one is forcing anyone to rent a video/DVD. They want everyone to submit to their vision of morality. Conform or you are just helping the terrorists! It's becoming a culture war.

17. Comcast?

I was told that Comcast only offered soft core porn. If they offer hard core (XXX), I might have to sign up!
