The FBI's take

[LindaMight]

All these new important roles the government is assigning.....makes one sit back and utter "hmmmmmmm wtf?"

From the FSC Newsletter and the Washington Post:

FBI AGENTS RESIST ANTI-OBSCENITY SQUAD
WASHINGTON, DC -- The FBI’s Washington Field Office has the unenviable responsibility of recruiting agents for their new anti-obscenity squad. Congress has mandated that at least 10 agents devote their efforts to eradicating the menace of adult entertainment and Attorney General Gonzales has given the ludicrous objective a high priority. As a result, recruitment announcements have gone out to all 56 FBI field offices. However, the effort to staff the program is not getting rave reviews.
“It’s a running joke for us,” said an experienced national security analyst.
“I guess this means we’ve won the war on terror,” said one exasperated agent. “We must not need any more resources for espionage.”
Washington Post reporter Barton Gellman describes “mischievous commentary” around the water coolers in FBI offices. Sample comments from Gellman’s insider research:
“Things I Don’t Want On My Résumé, Volume Four.”
“I already gave at home."
“Honestly, most of the guys would have to recuse themselves.”
Officially unamused, FBI spokesperson Debra Weierman expressed disappointment that some of her colleagues find grist for humor in the new campaign.
“The personnel assigned to this initiative take the responsibility of this assignment very seriously and are dedicated to the success of this program,” she insisted.
