Attention Attorney General Ashcroft ! ! !I know how concerned you are about issues of pornography given that you felt it necessary to drape the bare breasts of statues in the Justice Department.
I recently revisited a site that had been a source of information about Chemtrails. Given that this is a perfectly legal and protected 1st Amendment Constitutional Right of Free Speech and discussion, I'm sure that you would do everything in your power to assure that no one, and no agency, would knowingly and intentionally attempt to subvert and abridge this freedom.
That being the case, I thought you should know that the site:
http://www.chemtrails.org
is now promoting what appears to be child pornography. Clearly this site has nothing to do with Chemtrails. Not only that, when an unsuspecting victim happens to click on this site it becomes virtually impossible to exit without having to reboot their computer. It is also not clear whether information is downloaded to their local disk drive without their intent or permission.
I am hereby alerting people with similar interests (Chemtrails) of this situation and I am requesting that you bring all the powers of your office to investigate, and prosecute, those responsible for this deplorable act. Since this site is regularly visited by agents of Federal and State law enforcement agencies, I assume this notice to be both appropriate and sufficient.

Note to other Chemtrails activists. Please be aware of the following:

the Justice Department's privacy policy allows it to hand over information it collects from people visiting seized Web sites to "appropriate law enforcement officials" for criminal prosecution.
The disturbing thing is that it would be legal for the Justice Department to seize control of a purportedly illegal site and set up a sting operation tomorrow. In a landmark 1992 Supreme Court case, Jacobson v. U.S., the justices ruled that police may set traps for people who are already "independently predisposed to commit the crime." (A dissent went even further, saying the government could initiate contact with people who had no predisposition to break laws--a rule that would permit the FBI to spam Americans with enticements to commit crimes.)
