URGENT NEWS: War Porn webmaster arrested
I couldn't believe this.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the web administrator of nowthatsfuckedup.com has been arrested by Polk County police on obscenity charges.
From an earlier posting:
I first read the War Porn story concerning Chris Wilson's nowthatsfuckedup website on Whatreallyhappened.com. They linked to a story on the East Bay Express.
This then led me to Just World News, a blog run by a war journalist and analyst, which had extensive material on the pornographic website.
Eventually CNN did a piece.
The BBC did a piece, which was short on content.
The Guardian ran an op/ed
Aljazeera's English website did a piece.
The New York Times played along. The NYT says they were not able to reach the website administrator. It may be he has gone underground for a while.
But there are fears that this may get swept under the rug. Some Iraqis I have spoken to no longer have faith in the US justice system as applied to Iraq.
Let's see how this plays out. So far, I applaud the Polk County officials. I hope no one comes around and calls it a violation of his first amendment rights.
