Although I never made my own post about this, I think you phrased it more eloquently than I ever could have. I'm sorry to say, I think this incident is a perfect example of an individual or group invoking the "I did it for the children" clause. Invoking this clause allows you to play the morality card and (apparently) allows you free reign to break as many rules and laws as you want, and if you can get enough people to join your wagon-train, you can get away with it. The Bush administration has done this over and over again, to the point where people are used to the president and the administration simply throwing the rule-book out the window. "We did it to protect YOU from the terrorists, so that justifies breaking any law we want and throwing civil rights, free speech, and due process into the toilet."

Six Apart, buckling under pressure from some whackjob morality group merely changed the word "terrorists" to "pedophiles" and proceeded with the witch-hunt, and proceeded to play the role of judge, jury, and executioner.

Piss-poor behaviour from people who should know better.
