"For nearly two weeks last year, the FBI operated what it described as one of the Internet’s largest child pornography websites, allowing users to download thousands of illicit images and videos from a government site in the Washington suburbs . . . Lawyers for child pornography victims expressed surprise that the FBI would agree to such tactics – in part because agents had rejected them in the past – but nonetheless said they approved."

When those in government are exempt from the same rules and laws others must obey and are judged by and held accountable to -- we have crossed the line of acceptable behavior. The fact victims would approve of such tactics when they are screaming about how sexual offenders re-victimize children, only shows how quickly we will become hypocrites and sacrifice people for our own gains.

What these government officials did makes me sick and to me, they are no different that child porn peddlers themselves -- two wrongs do not make a right and the ends does not justify the means used.
