Kiddie porn IS disgusting and then some. But a witchhunt is better left to politicians. I cannot judge guilty/innocent as far as the 2 parties arrested...what proof do I have to base it upon?
Phat has it right on the money...eliminate demand and the supply will follow. Unfortunately, as the drug wars have shown, this is much easier to theorize than implement. Highly visible public figures being arrested certainly help the cause as long as they are guilty, and are convicted upon the charges. If not the publicity will be negative and hinder the cause, IMHO.
