The guy running the porn site that let soldiers post their gruesome war dead photos has just been arrested. Why? Oh, no arrests or charges for the soldiers posting gruesome war dead trophy photos. No, that's okay. The guy running the site got arrested for the regular porn photos that are also on the site.
Ah, America. Where violations of international human rights laws (dare we say, war crimes?) get little more than a shrug from the Pentagon, but pictures of adults having consensual sex, that's a crime against humanity.
God help us all.
Polk County officials arrested a Lakeland man on obscenity charges Friday after investigating his graphic Web site, which has gained international attention for allowing U.S. soldiers to post pictures of war dead on the Internet.PS Don't worry, I still have a few bombshells left on the war-dead-for-porn story. I'm sitting tight until all the scandals blow over a bit, there's no point in putting it out there now, the media won't touch it. Wait for things to slow down, then I'll pounce.
The charges against Christopher Michael Wilson, a former police officer, are likely to reignite the debate about obscene material in the Internet age. It also raises questions about whether the federal government played a part in motivating the prosecution.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said late Friday that the 300 obscenity-related charges against Wilson all involve sexual content on his Web site -- and not graphic war-scene images posted by soldiers.
