SEC Watched Porn As Economy Crashed

I try to stay clear of politics on this blog, but every once in a while something happens that I just can't let slip by. This is one of those times.

The AP is reporting that the SEC's inspector general is conducting probes into 31 of its employee's charged with downloading and viewing porn on government time, using government equipment, while the economy crashed.

Here are a few highlights from the report:
● A senior attorney at the SEC's Washington headquarters spent up to eight hours a day looking at and downloading pornography. When he ran out of hard drive space, he burned the files to CDs or DVDs, which he kept in boxes around his office. He agreed to resign, an earlier watchdog report said.
● An accountant was blocked more than 16,000 times in a month from visiting websites classified as "Sex" or "Pornography." Yet he still managed to amass a collection of "very graphic" material on his hard drive by using Google images to bypass the SEC's internal filter, according to an earlier report from the inspector general.
● Seventeen of the employees were "at a senior level," earning salaries of up to $222,418.
