Ashcroft Vows New Laws to Fight Pornography

Reacting to a U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning portions of a law designed to curtail child pornography, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft said he is committed to working with Congress to craft new anti-porn laws. The announcement came shortly after the high court struck down the bulk of the Child Pornography Prevention Act, which made it illegal to possess or distribute computer-generated or enhanced images that appear to show children engaged in sex acts.
