is about three generations of women from one family who worked at the same New Orleans brothel...I think the story is going to focus on why was the FBI spending so much time going after these women, as this investigation was going on in the days before & after 9/11.....

It airs 10:00 est (CBS)


watched it with one eye while working. my favorite line was (paraphrasing) "leave it to the FBI to devote 5 months and 40 agents to indict only 3 women" ... that's our tax dollars at work

of course, you knew it just HAD to end with the prime-time network TV obligatory heart-tugging morally-righteous take on the "pain" and stigma of it all ... the multi-generational cycle of women misguidedly pursuing this career instead of breeding rugrats for their respectable husbands (the attorneys and judges) like good "decent" southern gals are supposed to.

network TV doesn't have the guts to put a positive (or even neutral) spin on this type of story.

My favorite part was the Congressman making the statement "All that time and effort by the FBI to find out that there IS prositution in New Orleans".

that CBS chose to profile three women who ended up in this business for all the wrong reasons. It goes to show CBS's conservative leanings. If they wanted to do an objective piece on this business they would have found  either a house like that, or gather a number of independents who chose the life of their own free will, and with no baggage.

Things like this will work against convincing non participants from ever voting to legalize this hobby.

I did find the Monica, the daughter of the Madam very desirable though. Too bad that they are out of business. After seeing that I'd almost go to New Orleans and pay them a visit.

By the way did you see the legs on Leslie Stahl? For a mature woman she is very well preserved.

Anyway, for what is worth, that is my opinion.
