Gonzales Wants ISP Data Retention To Curb Child Porn

$RANDOMLUSER writes, "The AP is reporting that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales testified before the Senate Banking Committee today and called for Congress to require ISPs to preserve customer records, asserting that prosecutors need them to fight child pornography. 'This is a problem that requires federal legislation,' Gonzales said. He called the government's lack of access to customer data the biggest obstacle to deterring child porn. 'We respect civil liberties but we have to harmonize this so we can get more information,' he said." Gonzales added that he agrees with a letter sent to Congress in June by 49 state attorneys general, requesting federal legislation to require ISPs to hold onto customer data longer.

    NO. These people exist and they are SICK!!!

    There has been two major arrests in Michigan this year. One person making the filth in Kalamazoo, and the other in Allegan.

    There has been a major crack down in the number one slave trade in America, the sex slave industry. While you may like looking at pictures on line of women having sex and looking like they are enjoying it, most of them are being forced into it and drugged up. It sickens me that so many people cannot take a few minutes to search for what has been happening in the busts in places like Gary, IN that has local officals that are so corrupt that they have to have the federal government come in to break up the "massage" brothels where some of the women had not been outside in literally MONTHS!

    So if you consider yourself to be a good person, you should be doing everything that you can to prevent the abuse to women and esp children. If not then you are no better then the person that is committing the acts.
