One can usually tell a story is important by the fact the mainstream media won't run it. The fact that this got published raises the question, what was the purpose. Perhaps the powers that be realized the War On Terror (Military Keynesianism fighting a made-up enemy) is so discredited in the public's eye already, it's time to switch to the War On Data Leaks (IT Keynesianism, fighting made-up leakers) to continue the economic stimulus?
Never presume ineptness where fraud fits the situation better.
As evidence surfaces more and more how three-letter federal agencies actively partake in the drug business, (some even post blurbs blurbs about it on their web site) the War On Drugs seems to be not at all about protecting any potential user. It's about keeping the drugs expensive by keeping non-governmental traffickers out of the trade.
Do we have an alternative network protocol?

A network the government cannot block? Things will eventually come to one being needed. If one doesn't exist yet, the IT wizards should start creating one now.
The first question one thinks when some official claims, place X has a lot of hidden child porn is - OK, and how does *HE* know?
If I need a file, that's on Usenet, I'll typically locate it in 5 minutes. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (or his counsel) must be a real determined pervert if he can find child porn on Usenet where even I saw no "major source" in my 20 years of normal, non-child-porn-seeking use.
What I DO see all over the Usetnet these days is, however, are copies of Hustler's "Gov Love" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-LVfjhCiBE) - the porn movie about discredited ex-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's illegal trysts. So Cuomo's Usenet crusade seems to be less a moral effort, and more of a petty revenge.
What the government has against bloody first-person-shooter games, anyway? Those are just http://www.hawaiiobserver.com/Dick Cheney office simulators.:-)
... it is only advertised with such a pretext. The easiest way to prevent more planes from crashing into buildings is to have
the State Department stop financing
such actions. To quote Richard Sanders (How to Start a War:
The
American Use of War Pretext Incidents (1848-1989):
"Because public support is so crucial to the process of initiating and waging
war, the home population is also subject to deceitful stratagems. Perhaps the most
common pretext for war is an apparently unprovoked enemy attack... Every time the
US has gone to war, pretext incidents have been used."

Given the police's track record, I think the database is in the wrong hands already.
