baltimoresun.com - Administration wages war on pornography
Topic: Arts 4:44 pm EDT, Apr  7, 2004

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 guestrooms of major hotel chains.

Sort of reminds me of "Perversion for Profit" (http://www.archive.org/movies/movies-details-db.php?collection=prelinger&collectionid=00895b).
I'm just waiting for the pornography/terror link.
