PORN & THE DOJ - What's wrong with this picture?

I don't get it, John Ashcroft, whom I have great respect for did not do in four years what Roberto Gonzales, whom I don't respect, has done in four weeks. What's wrong with that picture?

Agape Press reports ...

Pro-family advocates are praising the work of the Department of Justice for busting a major pornography distributor. One group's spokesman commends the actions of the new head of the DOJ, Attorney General Roberto Gonzales, for doing exactly what he said he was going to do. The Justice Department announced this week that a federal grand jury in Dallas, Texas, has issued a 23-count indictment against long-time porn operator Edward J. Wedelstedt of Littleton, Colorado.

The indictment alleges that Wedelstedt, through his corporation -- Goalie Entertainment Holdings -- operates porn and adult stores in 18 states through which porn videos, magazines, and "sexually oriented products" are sold, and where individuals purchase access to a "back room video arcade" for viewing pornographic videos.

Also named in the indictment were: Vivian Lee Schoug of Littleton, CO; Arthur Morris Boten of Des Moines, IA; James Randal Martinson of Memphis, TN; Jeffrey Mark Parris of Denver, CO; Leroy Moore, Sr. of Arlington, TX; and Beverly Kay Van Dusen of Arlington, TX.

Phil Burress, president of the Cincinnati-based Citizens for Community Values, agrees the indictment sends a strong message to the porn industry, (but) he believes "it should have taken place four years ago." Burress notes the investigation began seven years ago. "Why has it taken so long for it to materialize?"

My thoughts exactly. Now, steel yourself for the slaps on the hand and the paltry fines; sometimes the penalties provided for in obsenity bills makes me suspicious of the guys who draft them ... ya' know what I mean? Like they're trying to cover their own turf!

Anyone giving odds on when or if they'll go after the crud dispensers on the internet?
