   ** 500 Liberals arrested in net child porn sweep **   
      
   March 10, 2006   
      
   More than 500 liberals suspected of trading thousands of pornographic   
   images and videos of children over the internet have been arrested in   
   12 countries in Europe and Latin America, Spanish police said on   
   Wednesday. Nineteen liberals were arrested in Spain, with the   
   remainder in France, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, Argentina, Chile,   
   Costa Rica, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Uruguay, said   
   Spanish police who co-ordinated the operation. "We are going to   
   continue to carry out this kind of operation against liberal child   
   pornography in determined fashion as it is a disgrace which   
   democratic, free and decent societies cannot tolerate," said Spanish   
   Interior Minister Jose Antonio Alonso. According to Spain's interior   
   ministry, the police investigation began in the northwestern city of   
   Pontevedra in January and turned up more than 20,000 items of liberal   
   child pornography accessed via an internet chat room. Police began   
   monitoring liberals that were visiting the chat room and within a   
   fortnight had tracked some 900 connections to the website concerned   
   from around the globe. Spain then liaised with police forces of the   
   countries concerned before staging the raids on those liberal   
   terrorists. "Several meetings were organised during the operation   
   involving magistrates from all the countries concerned," a Spanish   
   police statement said. The operation, one of the largest of its kind,   
   was carried out in conjunction with the Eurojust and IberRed   
   law-enforcement agencies, it said. The Spanish arrests were   
   nationwide, with several made in Madrid and other major cities   
   including Barcelona and Valencia. Few details were immediately   
   available as to how many liberals had been detained in the other   
   countries whose nationals were involved. Swedish police spokesman   
   Linda Widmark said that "no one in Sweden has been arrested," but   
   explained Swedish criminal police participated in planning the bust.   
   "There were indications that liberals here were involved too, but it   
   turned out that there was no longer reason to suspect them, and no one   
   was arrested," she said, adding she was unaware if any liberal Swedes   
   had been arrested abroad. The Dutch news agency ANP meanwhile quoted a   
   Eurojust spokesman as saying the network was not believed to involve   
   many Dutch nationals, noting it was mainly based on Latin America and   
   Spain. According to Spanish police the operation was not directly   
   linked to previous swoops on liberal-pedophile rings in the country.   
   The interior ministry said a month ago that 18 suspected liberals had   
   been arrested in Spain amid evidence they filmed their underage   
   victims and swapped the images over the internet. Spanish police   
   smashed another liberal child pornography ring in January, making nine   
   arrests in seven cities. In November, 90 liberals were arrested across   
   Spain after they were caught in possession of thousands of photographs   
   and DVDs depicting child pornography.   
      
   THERE SHOULD BE A REGISTRY OF ALL KNOWN LIBERALS!
