Gonzales Wants New Web Rules, Attorney General: ISPs Should Preserve Customer Info To Help Fight Kid Porn - CBS News

I'm not sure I like this. Fighting child porn is noble, but once this data is required to be kept, then it will be used in many different cases, some criminal, some civil (like divorce cases)
