Gonzales channeling Ashcroft?

Today it was announced that the FBI would be diverting 10 agents away from their prior duties (terrorism, maybe) and towards obscenity prosecution of the makers of adult pornography marketed to adults. Apparently, Gonzales is tired of being bad-mouthed by the far right wingnuts and would rather concentrate on securing his place in the history books as an attorney general who (like John Ashcroft) is more obcessed with pornography and other "purient" interests than in protecting the country from actual threats. The loony right strikes again. It could also be a sign that Bush wants to nominate Gonzalez (a.k.a. the torture tsar) to the open spot on the Supreme Court and wants to appear to support the irrational crusade of the wingnut right.
