Porn foes lament Ashcroft record on prosecutions
By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

When Attorney General John Ashcroft was lampooned for shrouding the bare-breasted statue at the Department of Justice, many expected he would reverse the eight-year decline in obscenity prosecutions under former President Bill Clinton.

But today, as Mr. Ashcroft prepares to vacate the highest law enforcement office in the land, anti-porn advocates are deeply disappointed with the Bush administration's record — under Mr. Ashcroft's guidance — for pursuing peddlers of smut.

President Bush "has a worse record in his first term than Clinton had," says Patrick A. Trueman, who served as chief of the Justice Department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) under Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

"When Ashcroft first came to office, the pro-family groups met with Ashcroft and made our case," recalls Mr. Trueman, who like many expected pornography to be a top priority for the new attorney general. "Who does he get to run CEOS? The deputy of the section under Clinton."

Andrew Oosterbaan, who referred questions to a Justice Department spokesman, worked in the department under Attorney General Janet Reno and was made chief of the division in the Bush administration. Under his command, CEOS has won 37 convictions, according to the division's "Obscenity Prosecutions Summary Report" released last month.

Alex, PD, Sykk, Sarattah, you guys can make your "Mike AI was right" posts here in this thread.

Ashcroft did NOTHING to harm the porn industry.

Ashcroft did a good job as Attorny General. I wish he was staying.

When you find a post by me that says that Ashcroft was somehow going to destroy the porn industry, post the link and I will gladly dedicate a thread to "Mike was right".

I don't think you will find it.

MikeAI got lucky that taliban boogeymen put a bigger scare into the country then a double anal video....

I am not going to spend time looking though ya'lls posts...

But lets face it, the leftists here were in a hissy for 4 years about Ashcroft. We heard so much from the Chicken Little's and Ashcroft did NOTHING to harm the porn industry.

I was never in a hissy about Ashcroft. I was always thankful that we got him the fuck out of Missouri.
