What kiddie porn really looks like
A few trolls in the comments section seemed to take exception to my assertion that high level U.S. government officials sit around looking at slides of child pornography. The Attorney General showing off slides of child pornography is essential if it is ever to be combatted they said. "If you've never seen it how are you to ever be able to combat it", is their thinking I imagine.
Sarcasm aside it certainly is important that the sexual exploitation of children be stopped. So it is entirely appropriate for reasonable measures to be taken to stop it.
What kind of gets me though is that they only seemed concerned about kids who are sexually exploited. But what about all the little kids in places like Iraq getting blown up by the U.S. military? Shouldn't someone show some concern for them? Somehow though I doubt these pictures were among those shown off by Gonzalez:
(for those wanting to see even more disturbing pictures and some background on what happened to these children see here)
I guess we just have to keep in mind Bush morality for kids; sex - bad, collateral damage - ok.
