So, by your logic, it should be perfectly acceptable to scream "FIRE!" in a crowded theater...
The bottom line is that if the service(s) being offered in the Adult section of Craigslist were thinly veiled ads for prostitution and prostitution outside of certain counties in Nevada is considered ILLEGAL, then the Attorneys General are well within their rights to prosecute.
We, as a society, have decided that prostitution isn't an acceptable activity. So in that case, yes, it would fall within the scope of their job descriptions to prosecute Craigslist for aiding and abetting?
Travesty...? Seriously. A situation that better qualifies as a "travesty" would be the situation in NY City - where they're planning a mosque within spitting distance of the World Trade Center site.
If you really, really disagree that prostitution shouldn't be prosecuted - then start a campaign to LEGALIZE it.
