Porn producer invokes the Bush/Yoo defense -- unsuccessfully

Citizens who produce fictitious films depicting "humiliation" and "degradation" will be sent to prison. Government officials who do that in reality will be immunized.

    "superior morality" and Bush/Cheney war criminals self awarded "obscene immunity"...

    So the moral rot of this Bush/Cheney war mongering regime comes full circle.

    Strangely peculiar how ex-AG Alberto Gonzales was so keyed on this area of law and judicial outcome when he so very much ignored over and over similar black/white morality regarding his own regimes illegal,unethical conduct and poisoned political ploys.

    For this Bush/Cheney regime to concern itself so selectively on matters of what is obscene or immoral surely is a stretch.

    The Bush/Cheney regime surely has been fully obscene in having unleashed brutal American militarism on Iraq and Afghanistan against defenseless civilians repeatedly. On the ground. From the air. American obscene terrorism as good as it gets most often.

    That these war criminals would pontificate on what is obscene surely a mockery of any valid process in what they consider to be obscene.

    That Bush/Cheney regime would demand immunity for the obscene conduct(seek out and do torture)(false patriotism)(fiscal fantasy)(American sky terror in Iraq,Afghanistan and Pakistan)) they have promoted and condoned and then put this legal charade up as proof of the pure piety they subscribe to is obscenely ignorant and arrogant.
