Help me feel okay about this. The ends never justify the means.
So there was this big child porn bust. I cheer that news. I have less than zero sympathy for any adults who prey on children.

Under ordinary circumstances, I can be happy with the statement and leave the rest up to the system (my tax dollars pay for).

Then there's this story:

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20087678-504083.html

It seems our Department of Homeland Security was involved. I have a problem with that. Not Interpol? DHS is now on the porn beat?

Again, I am glad they busted the ring. I am not in the least sympathetic to the perps.

I am bothered by DHS being involved. Help me be okay with that.

1. Not enough terrorists to go after?
Maybe that is the good news. They got tired of twiddling their thumbs so they went after child terrorizers.

2. They don't have anything to do all day.
Which is why they need to go away.

6. They have to do something to justify all those billions of dollars
on them?

And weren't some of them caught exposing themselves to women, not so long ago?

Not to mention the TSA's 'enhanced patdowns' of babies?

Maybe they KNOW something about this subject?

Sorry, can't think of anything else!
